Question

For one taxi ride, what is the range of the function that models the price for a ride of x miles, with a fixed cost of $2.50 and an additional cost of $2.70 per mile for a maximum of 35 miles?

A) $2.50 ≤ y ≤ $95.50
B) $2.50 ≤ y ≤ $105.50
C) $2.50 ≤ y ≤ $77.50
D) $2.50 ≤ y ≤ $88.50

Answer 1

The range of the function that models the price for a taxi ride of x miles with a fixed cost of $2.50 and an additional cost of $2.70 per mile for a maximum of 35 miles is $2.50 to $97.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function that models the price for a taxi ride of x miles can be represented as:

y = 2.50 + 2.70x

Given that the maximum miles for the taxi ride is 35, we can substitute x = 35 into the function to find the maximum price:

y = 2.50 + 2.70(35)

y = 2.50 + 94.50

y = 97.00

So, the maximum price for a taxi ride is $97.00.
