Question

Suppose this ost function, C(x), gives you the cost of a home with a given area x.

C(x) = 75,000+ 150x

What is the area function, that gives you the area of the home for a given cost x?

Answer:

  x(C) = (C -75000)/150

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, undo what is done to x.

  c = 75000 +150x

  c -75000 = 150x . . . . . . . subtract 75000

  (c -75000)/150 = x . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

The area function is ...

  x(C) = (C -75000)/150
