Question 267795: The cost for burning a 75 watt bulb is given by the function c(h), where h represents the number of hours that the bulb burns.
(a) How much does it cost to burn a 75 watt bulb for 3 hours per night for a 28 day month? Express your answer to the nearest cent.

(b) Graph the function c(h) = 0.0055h. (Do this on paper. Your instructor may ask you to turn in this graph.)
(c) Use the graph in part (b) to approximate the cost of burning a 75 watt bulb for 295 hours. (Express your answer to the nearest tenth of dollar.)
$
(d) Use c(h) = 0.0055h to find the exact cost, to the nearest cent, of burning a 75 watt bulb for 295 hours.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! The cost for burning a 75 watt bulb is given by the function c(h) = 0.0055h, where h represents the number of hours that the bulb burns.
----------------------------
(a) How much does it cost to burn a 75 watt bulb for 3 hours per night for a 28 day month? Express your answer to the nearest cent.
c(3*28) = 0.0055(3*28) = $0.462
----------------------------------
(b) Graph the function c(h) = 0.0055h. (Do this on paper. Your instructor may ask you to turn in this graph.)
------------------------------------------------
(c) Use the graph in part (b) to approximate the cost of burning a 75 watt bulb for 295 hours. (Express your answer to the nearest tenth of dollar.)

(d) Use c(h) = 0.0055h to find the exact cost, to the nearest cent, of burning a 75 watt bulb for 295 hours.
c(295) = 0.0055(295) = $1.62
