Question

The base ticket price for a football game is modeled by the function p(x) = 15x + 10, where x is the years since the team started playing football. Not included in each base ticket price is a service charge modeled by the function c(x) = 5x + 2. To find the total cost of a ticket, a fan should use what operation on the polynomials?

Answer 1

You are trying to figure out a cost that depends on two different charges but both depend on X and you have to always pay both when you are purchasing a ticket..so the operation you are looking for is addition with a total cost formula equal to 20x +2(15x +10+ 5x +2)
