Question 927143
A new company is producing ant farms. They had a start-up fee of $200 and have supplies that cost $5 per ant farm. Write a linear equation that shows the cost for this new company creating a farms.
C(x) = 200 + 5x
-----------------------------------
 11. Using a table, find the cost to produce 8 farms, 10 farms and 12 farms. You will need to graph this below. Scale each axis.
C(8) = 200 + 5*8 = 240
C(10) = 200 + 5*10 = 250
C(12) = 200 + 5*12 = 260
------------------------------------- 
 12. Using your graph, find the cost to produce 20 and 22 of these ant farms.
C(20) = 200 + 5*20 = 300
C(22) = 200 + 5*22
----------------------
 13. What does the y-intercept in this specific problem tell you?
C(0) = 200 + 5*0 = 200
It tells you the startup cost.
-------------------- 
14. What does the slope indicate for this specific problem?
slope = 5
It tells you the cost for each additional ant hill
----------------
 15. Write this equation for the cost in function notation. Find f (100).
C(x) = 200 + 5x
C(100) = 200 + 5*100 = 700
