Arthur has decided to start saving for a new computer. His money is currently in a piggy bank at home, modeled by the function s(x) = 85. He was told that he could do the laundry for the house and his allowance would be a(x) = 10(x − 1), where x is measured in weeks. Explain to Arthur how he can create a function that combines the two, and describe any simplification that can be done.

y

Step-by-step explanation:

OpenStudy (amorfide):

s(x)=85 piggy bank

a(x)=10(x-1) allowance

he currently has the money in his piggy bank which is 85

then he gains 10(x-1) for every week that x is,

so you know that on the first week he is doing laundry he has the allowance a(1)=0

but you already have 85 in your piggy bank so your new function will give you 0+85

meaning 85 is your starting case so you always have 85 from the start

therefore you get a new function s(x)+a(X) which we will label f(x)

so f(x)=s(x)+a(x)

f(x)=85+ 10(x-1)

Thank you and please rate me as brainliest as it will help me to level up

the answer is c.

for continuous functions, they continue in the same pattern and you have to find that pattern kinda like slope
