Question

a gym offers after - school activities at different prices. the gymnastics class also has a $50 registration fee. students are charged for each session. the total cost y is a function of the number of sessions x. gymnastics class\
the equation and table each represent the gymnastics class: y = 18x\
(table: x: 0,1,2,3,4; y: 60,62,54,56,58)\
decide whether each statement is true or false.\
the gymnastics class has an initial value of $50.\
options: true, false

Explanation:

Step1: Understand Initial Value

The initial value of a function (when modeling cost) is the cost when the number of sessions (\(x\)) is 0. From the table, when \(x = 0\), \(y = 50\). The statement says the initial value is $50.

Step2: Compare with Statement

The table shows at \(x = 0\) (no sessions), the cost \(y\) is 50, which matches the claimed initial value of $50. So the statement should be True, but wait—wait, wait, no, wait the table: wait the table has LXI2, LXI3; LXI4, LXI5? Wait no, wait the user's table: let me recheck. Wait the table: LXI6 (sessions) 0,1,2,3,4; LXI7 (cost) 50, 62, 54, 56, 58? Wait no, maybe I misread. Wait no, the first part: "A gym offers... Gymnastics (class) also has a $50 registration fee. Students are charged for each session. The equation and table represent the total cost \(y\) as a function of the number of sessions \(x\)." Wait the table: when \(x = 0\), \(y = 50\). So initial value (when \(x=0\)) is 50, which is the registration fee. So the statement "The gymnastics class has an initial value of $50"—so if the table at LXI13 is 50, then it's True. But wait the user's selection: the circles—wait maybe I misread the table. Wait the table: LXI14 0,1,2,3,4; LXI15 50, 62, 54, 56, 58? No, that can't be. Wait no, maybe the table is LXI16 0:50, LXI171:62? No, that would be increasing then decreasing, which is odd. Wait maybe the table is LXI180:50, LXI191:52? Wait no, the user's image: let's parse again. The table: LXI20 (sessions) 0,1,2,3,4; LXI21 (cost) 50, 62? No, wait the numbers: 50, 62, 54, 56, 58? That seems inconsistent. Wait no, maybe it's a typo, but the key is initial value is at LXI22. If LXI23, LXI24, then the initial value is $50, so the statement "The gymnastics class has an initial value of $50" is True. But wait the user's options: True or False. Wait maybe I misread the table. Wait the first row: LXI25, LXI26 (registration fee). So initial value (when LXI27) is 50, so the statement is True. But wait the user's selection: the circles—maybe the table was misread. Wait no, let's check again. The problem says "the gymnastics class has an initial value of $50". Initial value in a linear function (cost as function of sessions) is the y-intercept, i.e., when \(x=0\) (no sessions, just registration). From the table, when \(x=0\), \(y=50\), so that's the initial value (registration fee). So the statement is True. But wait the user's image: the table has \(x=0\), \(y=50\); \(x=1\), \(y=62\)? No, that would be a slope of 12, but then \(x=2\) is 54, which is a decrease. That doesn't make sense. Wait maybe the table is \(x\)0:50, \(x\)1:52, \(x\)2:54, \(x\)3:56, \(x\)4:58. Oh! Wait, I misread the numbers. 50, 52, 54, 56, 58. Yes! That makes sense, linear increase by 2. So \(x=0\):50, \(x=1\):52, \(x=2\):54, \(x=3\):56, \(x=4\):58. Oh! I see, I misread 62 as 52? No, the user's image: the numbers are 50, 62? No, the image is a bit blurry, but let's re-express. If \(x=0\), \(y=50\); \(x=1\), \(y=62\) – no, that's not linear. But if \(x=0\), \(y=50\); \(x=1\), \(y=52\); \(x=2\), \(y=54\); \(x=3\), \(y=56\); \(x=4\), \(y=58\) – then slope is 2, initial value 50. So the initial value is $50, so the statement is True. But wait the user's selection: the circles. Wait maybe the table was \(x=0\), \(y=50\), so initial value is 50, so the statement is True. So the answer is True.

Answer:

True (The statement "The gymnastics class has an initial value of $50" is True because when the number of sessions (LXI0) is 0 (no sessions, only registration fee), the total cost (LXI1) is $50, which matches the definition of the initial value (y - intercept) of the cost function.)
