Question

A car rental agency charges 150 per week +0.45 per mile to rent car express the weekly cost to rent a car if as a function of the number of miles driven during week X

Answer 1

The required function is:

`C(x) = 150+0.45x`

Explanation:

We have to represent the given scenario as an equation or function

Let x be the number of miles driven in a week

Let C(x) be the function of the number of miles driven

As it is given that charges are 150 per week, these charges are constant so they will be used as it is.

It is also given that the cost of car is 0.45 per mile so for x miles the cost will be:

0.45x

Combining both terms, we get

`C(x) = 150+0.45x`

Hence,

The required function is:

`C(x) = 150+0.45x`
