I genuinely cannot process what is in front of my eyes.

How is it not 3*T ?

in a year

#

this means u accumulate 1,000,000 euros of debt by then PLUS the 3 euros per toy cost

#

think of the y = mx +b formula

But the name of the function is "cost per toy" ? I thought of that formula first and it made more sense, but the function name threw me off.

yeah there are two different things you can call cost per toy

#

they are giving one and asking for the other

#

it can't be 3T though

#

you would say how is it not 3

So the meanings of "cost per toy" in this context are:

a) The cost of producing a single toy, which is 3 euros
b) The total cost depending on the amount of toys, which is T

#

Then, I think the answer should be f(T) = 3*T + 1 000 000

#

What do you say?

i would say 36 because toys are 3 euros and there are 12 months in a year

#

that's total cost, it's useful but it's not the answer

#

1 000 000 / T + 3

nova cobalt
#

yeah that works

OK, thanks.
