Are my answers correct? Quadratic and logarithmic modeling

In summary: Thanks again for your help!In summary, for the given conversation, there are two options for replacement packs with different models. Option 1 has a quadratic model with a monthly access fee of $20 and an included 20 gigabytes, with a cost of $0.50 for each additional gigabyte. Option 2 has a logarithmic model with a monthly access fee of $30 and an included 25 gigabytes, with a cost of $0.50 for each additional gigabyte. To develop these equations, the quadratic model is solved by elimination and the logarithmic model is solved by finding the value of the variables a and b.

the graph was going to be my next question! - sorry for being a pain in the butt. :p

How would would i put my answers into WA?

Use the command:

y=x^2/2+20,y=30+ln(x+1)/(2ln(2)) where x=0 to 8

why is logarithmic model pretty much staying the same...

they're both supposed to go up by 50 cents, same amount.

im confused

The both go up by 50 cents for the first gigabyte, but only a linear function will change at a constant rate.
