Aboy had 20 cents. he bought x pencils for 3 cents each. if y equals the number of pennies left, write an equation showing the dependence of y on x. what is the domain of the function?

Hey there!!

The total number of cents - 20

Cost for each pencil - 3 cents

Number of pencils bought - ' x '

y = number of pennies left

What is the domain ?

Show how y is dependent on x ..

Let's get this into an equation :

... The total cost for x pencils bought = 3x

... Number of pennies left = 20 - 3x

... y = number of pennies left

... y = 20 - 3x

Notice : If the x value changes, the y value changes too

... If x = 1 , then , y = 17; If x = 2 , then , y = 14

Hence, we could say y is dependent upon x

Domain = ?

... Remember - The total number of pennies = 20 ; hence, the total cost cannot go above 20 cents.

Hence, we will have to work with inequalities

The equation  :

... 20 ≥ 3x

Divide 3 on both sides

20 / 3 ≥ x

x ≥ 6.667

Let's take this as 6

Hence , the domain will be :

D : { 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 }

Hope my answer helps!

i'm sure goog can you get that answer

no ,sorry if you needed it but you can ask and try to see if any one will anwser ,
