Question

3. The cost of the city permits needed to build this building is 150,000 no matter how many floors with

condos are built.

a. Create a function p(1) based on this information.

b. What is the slope of your function and what does it tell you?

Answer 1

Answer:

$P(x) = 150000$

$Slope = 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Cost = 150000$

Solving (a): The cost function:

From the given parameter, it shows that the number of floor has no effect on the floors.

So, represent the floors with x.

The cost function is:

$P(x) = 150000$

Solving (b): The slope and its interpretation

A function is represented as:

$f(x) = b + mx$

Where:

$m=slope$

By comparing: $f(x) = b + mx$ to $P(x) = 150000$

$m = 0$

So:

$Slope = 0$

What it means is that, no matter the number of floors, the cost remains unchanged.
