- An outpatient operating room charges each patient a fixed amount per surgery plus an amount per minute for use. One patient was charged 250 for a 30-minute surgery and another patient was charged 450 for a 90-minute surgery. Determine the linear function that would be used to compute the charges. Use the function to determine the charge when a patient has a 45-minute surgery.arrow_forwardDVD camcorder Suppose that the functions Rx=300x and Cx=60,000+40x model a companys monthly revenue and cost for producing and selling DVD camcorder. a.
