Question
Suppose that $C(x, y)$ represents the cost of renting $x$ DVDs and $y$ video games. If $C(x+2, y)<C(x, y+1)$ for every $x \geq 0$ and $y \geq 0$, what does this tell you about the cost of renting DVDs and video games?
Step 1
The inequality $C(x+2, y)<C(x, y+1)$ tells us that the cost of renting $x+2$ DVDs and $y$ video games is less than the cost of renting $x$ DVDs and $y+1$ video games. Show more…

The cost of renting DVDs from an online company is $\$ 5.00$ per month plus $\$ 2.50$ for each DVD rented. Write an equation for the total cost $c$ of renting $d$ DVDs from the company in one month. Graph the equation. How many DVDs did Sean rent from the company if his total bill for one month was $\$ 20.00 ?$
