An ice cream stand uses the expression 2 + 0.5x2 to determine the cost (in dollars) of an ice cream cone that has x scoops of ice cream. How much does an ice cream cone with 5 scoops cost?
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Give the expression for the cost of ice cream cone with x scoops of ice cream :
Cost = 2 + 0.5x²
Cost of ice cream cone with 5 scoops of ice cream.
x = 5
Cost = 2 + 0.5(5²)
Cost = 2 + 0.5(25)
Cost = 2 + 12.5
Cost = 14.5
Hence, the cost of ice cream is $14.5
