On my birthday, my friends invite me to Six Flags in New Jersey and give me $200 to ride the Kingda Ka rollercoaster as many times as I want. One ride costs $ 15. Write a function f(x) which is the amount of money left after x rides. What kind of function is this? (We make the assumption that I am still alive after several rides).
