Question

The cost for an upcoming field trip is $10 per student. The cost of the field trip, in dollars, is a function of the number of students. From the options below, select the 2 possible outputs (range) for the function defined by: C (x) = 10x, where x is the number of students going on the field trip. Select only 2 options.

Answer 1

To find the possible outputs (range) for the function \( C(x) = 10x \), where \( x \) is the number of students, we can calculate the cost for different values of \( x \):

1. If \( x = 1 \) (1 student), then \( C(1) = 10 \times 1 = 10 \).
2. If \( x = 2 \) (2 students), then \( C(2) = 10 \times 2 = 20 \).
3. If \( x = 3 \) (3 students), then \( C(3) = 10 \times 3 = 30 \).
4. If \( x = 4 \) (4 students), then \( C(4) = 10 \times 4 = 40 \).

You can see that the cost will always be a multiple of 10, depending on the number of students. Therefore, the possible outputs (costs) can be any of these values or other multiples of 10.

If you are provided specific options, please share them, and I can help you select 2 possible outputs.
