Question

Two boat rental companies are competing for business. Company 1 uses the formula y = 17x + 10 to calculate cost, where x is the number of hours the boat is rented for. Company 2 uses the formula y = 10(1.5)^x. Which company charges the most as an initial cost?

A) Company 1
B) Company 2
C) They charge the same

Answer 1

B) Company 2 charges more

Answer 2

Answer:

A) Company 1

I think so. because company 1 charges 17 times the value of x +10

and company 2 charges 10(1.5) times the value of x which means 15 timed the value of x
