Answer: 9 + 1.50m

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the minimum cost for an Uber ride is $9 and that a fee of $1.50 will be added for each additional mile.

A piece wise function to model the situation will be:

= 9 + 1.50m

where m = every additional mile

For example, if a person takes 4 additional miles, this will be calculated as:

= 9 + 1.50m

= 9 + 1.50(4)

= 9 + 6

= $15
