1. Tara already knew 4 appetizer recipes before starting culinary school, and she will learn 3 new appetizer recipes during each week of school. Write an equation that shows the relationship between the number of
weeks and the number of appetizer recipes.
(a) Define your variables.
(b) Write a linear equation that can be used to determine the number of appetizer recipes she will learn
during school
(c) Solve your linear equation to determine the number of recipes that Tara will know after 18 weeks in
school
(d) Explain your answer to Part 1c.

(a)  The dependent variable = The total number of new appetizer recipe Tara knows = y

The dependent variable = The total number of new appetizer recipe Tara learns = A

The independent variable = Number of weeks she is in school = x

(b) A = 3 × x

(c) 58 recipes

(d) The total number of recipes Tara knows after 18 weeks = The new recipes she learns during the 18 weeks of school + The number of recipes Tara already knew

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of appetizer recipes Tara already knew = 4

The number of new appetizer recipe she will learn each week of school = 3

(a) The dependent variable = The total number of new appetizer recipe Tara knows = y

The dependent variable = The total number of new appetizer recipe Tara learns = A

The independent variable = Number of weeks she is in school = x

The added constant term = The number of appetizer recipes Tara already knew = 4

(b) The equation for the number of appetizer, A, she will learn during school is give as follows;

The number of new appetizer recipe Tara learns in school = 3 × Number of weeks she is in school +

A = 3 × x

(c) The total number of recipes, y, that Tara will knows after 18 weeks in school is therefore;

y = A(18) + The number of appetizer recipes Tara already knew

A(18) = 3 × 18 = 54

y = 54 + 4 = 58 recipes

(d) The total number of recipes Tara knows after 18 weeks is the sum of the new recipes she learns during the 18 weeks of school and the number of recipes Tara already knew.

let m = monomial

let t = trinomial

so, m times t = t.

monomial times a trinomial = another trinomial.
