Q:

A hair salon charges a fixed rate of $25.00 for a haircut and an additional $15 for any other services. Write a function to model the cost of services at the salon and then evaluate the function to determine the cost for a haircut, shampoo, highlight, and blow dry.

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:AStep-by-step explanation:The function is f(x) = 15x + 25 as 25$ is a fixed rate ( it does not change and is always charged) when 15$ for any other service which can be anything, a costumer can have 0 services other than the hair cut which gives f(0). As for the question, it's asking for haircut, shampoo, highlight, and blow dry so that is 3 other services other than the fixed haircut which means f(3). substitute x=3 in the function to get 15(3) + 25 = 45+25 = 70.
