3. in order to enter the state fair, there is
an admission cost. each game is $3.
steven went to the state fair, played
4 games and spent a total of $20 on
admission and games. assume the
relationship is linear. find and interpret
the rate of change and the initial value.

C = 8 + 3x

The rate of change in the above equation is 3 dollars per game and it interpret the cost per game.

The initial value in the above equation is 8 dollars, which interpret the entry fee that every one person has to pay to enter the fair.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the admission cost of the fair is $x and each game is $3.

Now, Steven went to the state fair, played  4 games and spent a total of $20 on  admission and games.

So, we can write 20 = x + 4 × 3 {As the relation is linear}

⇒ x = $8

Therefore, the admission cost in the fair is $8.

Therefore, the equation that models the situation is  

C = 8 + 3x (1)

Where C is the total cost and x is the number of games played.

So, the rate of change in equation (1) is 3 dollars per game and it interprets the cost per game.

Again, the initial value in equation (1) is 8 dollars, which interprets the entry fee that each person has to pay to enter the fair. (Answer)
