Landon is deciding between two landscaping companies for his place of business.
Company A charges $30 per hour and a $175 equipment fee. Company B charges $45
per hour and a $100 equipment fee. Let A represent the amount Company A would
charge for t hours of landscaping, and let B represent the amount Company B would
charge for t hours of landscaping. Write an equation for each situation, in terms of t,
and determine the interval of hours, t, for which Company A is cheaper than
Company B.
A =
B =
Company A is cheaper than Company B when t
Note: The interval will only apply for valid values of t in the domain.
