Part A: What is the maximum value of the function? Explain what the maximum value of this repre
situation. Make sure to include information about the x-value and y-value in your explanation.

the correct answer is 5 6 and 7

step-by-step explanation: given equation a = h(b 1+b 2)

also we are given values of a, h and b 1 as :

a = 16, h = 4, and b 1 = 3.

in order to solve it for b 2, we need to plug the given values of   a, h and b 1 .

therefore, plugging values of   a, h and b 1   in given equation, we get

16 = 4( 3 + b 2)

first dividing both sides by 4, we get

4 = 3 + b 2

subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

4 -3 = 3 -3 + b 2

1 = b 2.

well, because the $0.25 is an added cost depending on how many minutes, the answer would be y = 30 + 0.25x.
