Renting jet skis from Jerry's water sports costs $20.00 per hour plus a one-time fee of $8.00. Renting jet skis from Splash of fun costs $25.00 per hour with no one-time fee. The cost to rent a jet ski depends on the total number of hours, h, rented. How many hours must you rent a jet ski for the cost to be the same at jerry's water sports and at splash of fun?

The indifference point is 1.6 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Jerry's water sports:

Variable cost= $20.00 per hour

Fixed cost= $8

Splash of fun:

Variable cost= $25.00 per hour.

First, we need to establish the system of equations:

Jerry= 8 + 20x

Splash= 25x

x= number of hours

Now, we need to equal both formulas and isolate x:

20x + 8 = 25x

8=5x

1.6= x

The indifference point is 1.6 hours.

Prove:

erry= 8 + 20*1.6= $40

Splash= 25*1.6= $40

answer: on graphs, the open and closed circles, or vertical asymptotes drawn as dashed lines us identify discontinuities.

as before, graphs and tables allow us to estimate at best.

when working with formulas, getting zero in the denominator indicates a point of discontinuity.

when working with piecewise-defined functions, check for discontinuities at the transition points where one piece ends and the next begins.
