The cost of renting a bowling alley for an event is a $200 flat fee and a $25 per person that attends. Let C(x) represent the cost per person when 'x' people attend the event. The equation for C(x) is given:
C(x)=\frac{25x+200}{x}
What is the behavior as x tends to infinity, what is the correct interpretation?
the limit tends towards 25, this is because as x grows and grows, the $200 fee becomes smaller and smaller in comparison. Example: C(1000)= (200+25000)/(1000)=25200/1000=25.2. This decimal just keeps getting closer and closer to 25.
