To create a function for Ari's yard service business, we can represent his earnings as follows:

Let \( h \) be the number of hours Ari works. His total earnings \( E(h) \) can be calculated using the function:

\[ E(h) = 10 + 15h \]

Now, we can calculate his earnings for \( h = 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, \) and \( 3 \) hours and create a table.

\[ \begin{align*} h & \quad E(h) \ 1 & \quad E(1) = 10 + 15(1) = 25 \ 1.5 & \quad E(1.5) = 10 + 15(1.5) = 32.5 \ 2 & \quad E(2) = 10 + 15(2) = 40 \ 2.5 & \quad E(2.5) = 10 + 15(2.5) = 47.5 \ 3 & \quad E(3) = 10 + 15(3) = 55 \ \end{align*} \]

So the table of results is:

  • \( (1, 25) \)
  • \( (1.5, 32.5) \)
  • \( (2, 40) \)
  • \( (2.5, 47.5) \)
  • \( (3, 55) \)

Thus, the output that matches our calculations is:

\[ (1, 25), , (1.5, 32.5), , (2, 40), , (2.5, 47.5), , (3, 55) \]

None of the response options you provided match the correct output based on the calculations above.
