Question 449028
name the function and solve the problem. I don't even know what kind of function the problem is never mind be able to solve it. Can Some one help?
A basketball team has a halftime promotion where a fan gets to shoot a 3 pointer in an attempt to win a jackpot. The jackpot begins with $5000 for the first game and increases $500 each time there's no winner. Joe has tickets to the 15th game of the season. How much will the jackpot be for that game if no one else wins by then?
--------------
J = 5000 + 500*(n-1) J = $$, n = game number start at 1
It's a linear function
----------
For game 15, n = 15
J = 5000 + 500*(15-1)
J = 5000 + 7000
J = $12,000 if there's no winner
---------------------
What happens if there's a winner isn't specified.
