Question 1116972: 1. Imagine that you have an elementary school-age child and are researching childcare options. You find two that you like - one at a child care center, one is based in a familys home - so it basically comes down to which one will be cheapest. the childcare charges $300 to enroll, then $79 per week. the family-run childcare charges $180 to enroll, then $93 per week.
a) Setup two functions to represent the cost of each.
b)which childcare approach will be the cheapest in the short-term?
c)determine the number of weeks at which it becomes more cost-effective to choose the long-term ?
