Question

Transcribed Image Text:Dietmar is in the process of choosing a cell phone and a cell phone plan. The first plan charges 20¢ per minute plus a monthly fee of $25, and the second plan offers
unlimited minutes for a monthly fee of $100.
(a) Find a linear function f that models the monthly cost f(x) (in dollars) of the first plan in terms of the number x of minutes used.
f(x)
(b) Find a linear function g that models the monthly cost g(x) (in dollars) of the second plan in terms of the number x of minutes used.
g(x)
(c) Determine the number of minutes for which the two plans have the same monthly cost.
