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!
