At the beginning of the year, Jason had $40 in his savings account. He plans to deposit $10 into his account each month. By the end of January, he will have $50 in his account, $60 by the end of February, $70 by the end of March, and so on. Write a function that describes the sequence. Then, use the function to predict how much will Jason have in his account at the end of the year. y = 50 x; $62 y = 10x 40; $160 y = 50 15x; $230 y = 40 12x; $184
The function that represents Jason's monthly savings is y = 40 + 10x. By substituting x with 12 (representing the 12 months in a year), we can predict that Jason will have $160 by the end of the year.
