Exercise 11 Page 203

Practice makes perfect
a

Let's make a table presenting charges for the first couple games.

Games Charge
0 5
1 7
2 9
3 11
4 13

The first term is 7 and the common difference is 2. We can use the Rule of Arithmetic Sequence.

f(n)=a_1+(n-1)d
f(n)= 7+(n-1) 2
f(n)=7+2n-2
f(n)=2n+5

b

To graph the function, we will use values from the table.


c

We can use the function to find the number of games we can play for $29.

f(n)=2n+5
29=2n+5
24=2n
n=12

This means that we can play 12 games.
