a. Write an equation that gives the total cost of an album as a function of studio time (in hours). b. Find the total cost of recording an album that takes 10 hours of studio time. EXAMPLE 5 Solve a multi-step problem Recording Studio A recording studio charges musicians an initial fee of $50 to record an album. Studio time costs an additional $35 per hour.
a. The cost changes at a constant rate, so you can write an equation in slope-intercept form to model the total cost. EXAMPLE 5 Solve a multi-step problem SOLUTION
C 50 = t 35 + EXAMPLE 5 Solve a multi-step problem STEP 1 Identify the rate of change and the starting value. Rate of change, m: cost per hour Starting value, b: initial fee STEP2 Write a verbal model. Then write the equation.
CHECK Use unit analysis to check the equation. dollars dollars= hour hours+dollars ANSWER The total cost Cis given by the function C = 35t + 50 where tis the studio time (in hours). ANSWER The total cost for 10 hours of studio time is $400. EXAMPLE 5 Solve a multi-step problem b. Evaluate the function for t = 10. C = 35(10) + 50 = 400 Substitute 10 for tand simplify.
WHAT IF?In Example 5, suppose the recording studio raises its initial fee to $75 and charges $40 per hour for studio time. 6. Write an equation that gives the total cost of an album as a function of studio time (in hours). a. ANSWER C = 40t +75 for Example 5 GUIDED PRACTICE
