Jordan pays $20 per month for a streaming membership that allows them to only pay $3 for each movie they stream. The equation

y = 20x + 3
represents the total amount Jordan spends each month on streaming, where x represents the number of movies streamed. If Jordan spent $98 for the month of July on streaming, then Jordan streamed
movies that month.
Question 2
The growth of a mobile app's user base can be tracked by the number of active users. In March 2018, the app had approximately 150 million active users worldwide. Each year, the number of active users has increased by around 8 million.

Does this situation represent discrete data or continuous data?

Question 1

You provided the equation \( y = 20 + 3x \) to represent Jordan's spending, but it should actually be \( y = 20 + 3x \) where \( y \) is the total amount spent and \( x \) is the number of movies streamed. To find out how many movies Jordan streamed in July when they spent $98, we can set up the equation:

\[ 98 = 20 + 3x \]

Subtract 20 from both sides:

\[ 98 - 20 = 3x \implies 78 = 3x \]

Now, divide both sides by 3:

\[ x = \frac{78}{3} = 26 \]

Jordan streamed 26 movies that month.


Question 2

The growth of a mobile app's user base, which increases by a specific number of users each year, represents discrete data. This is because user counts can only take whole number values (you can't have a fraction of a user).

Response: Discrete


Question 3

The context of the farmer's garden involves the dimensions of the garden (width and length), which must be positive. Hence, the constraints for the viable solutions would be:

  • The width should be greater than zero (a width of zero or less wouldn’t make sense).
  • Correspondingly, the length, which is dependent on the width, must also be positive.

Thus, the correct option for constraints would be:

Response: All positive integers greater than zero


Question 4

Measurement that would require a discrete data (whole number) constraint typically involves counting distinct objects, events, or occurrences, such as:

  • Number of students in a class
  • Number of eggs in a carton
  • Number of cars in a parking lot

Without specific options listed, I cannot provide an exact answer here, but look for options that imply counting whole items or entities.

If you can provide options for the fourth question, I can help identify the one that would need a whole number constraint.
