Question 1(Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)

(03.02)

Laura rents a movie for a flat fee of $2.00 plus an additional $0.50 for each night she keeps the movie. Choose the cost function that represents this scenario if x equals the number of nights Laura has the movie.

c(x) = 2.00x + 0.50
c(x) = 2.00 + 0.50x
c(x) = 2.50x
c(x) = (2.00 + 0.50)x

Answer 1

c(x) = 2.00 + 0.50x

Explanation:

Remember that since 2.00 is the flat fee, so there is no variable. After that, though, there is the fee of .50 which is charged every day you have a movie.

say you had the movie rented out for five days

c(5)=2.00+.50(5)

=2.00+2.5

c(5)=4.5

Hope this helped!
