Huh
f(x) = 10 - x

How did you end up with that answer?
I misread it
cost = 10 - change
cost - change = 10 - 2 change
cost = 10 - change
cost - change = 10 - 2 change
How would I graph this?
just put in a bunch of cost values from 0 to 10
if the cost were $2
change = 8
cost - change = 2 - 8 = -6
and
10 - 2(8) = -6
It is only non-negative if the cost is between 5 and 10
if the cost were $2
change = 8
cost - change = 2 - 8 = -6
and
10 - 2(8) = -6
It is only non-negative if the cost is between 5 and 10
