Question

Suppose that gas costs Big Ray $2.00/gallon and that he pays an attendant $100/day. Let C(x)

represent the total daily cost as a function of the price of the gas. Find the formula for C(x)

Answer 1

C(x) = 2x + 100

Explanation:

Here, we want to find the formula for C(x)

Here, x will be the number of gallons of gas

so per day, if x gallons of gas were consumed, the daily cost here will be x * 2 = $2x

Adding the cost for the attendant, we have 2x + 100

So the formula for C(x) will be;

C(x) = 2x + 100
