A local truck rental charges $45 to rent a truck plus $0.15 per mile. This local company has a restriction on the miles stating in the contract that no more than 50 miles can be driven. Write a function, C, that represents the cost for driving m miles

Respuesta :

The linear function C that represents the cost of driving m miles is given by:

[tex]C(m) = 45 + 0.15m, m \leq 50[/tex]

What is a linear function?

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

Considering the fixed cost of $45 as the y-intercept, and the cost of $0.15 per mile as the slope, and that at most 50 miles can be driven, the function is given by:

[tex]C(m) = 45 + 0.15m, m \leq 50[/tex]
