Question

While visiting in New York City, Monica rode in an Uber. The Uber driver charged her a fixed fee of $8 plus $4 for each mile she rode. Which equation could Monica have used to calculate the total cost in dollars as a function of the distance traveled, in miles, m? In addition, what is the range of the function for a maximum 5 mile taxi ride? f of m = 8(m) plus 4, Range: , 0, symbol, f of m, symbol, 28 f of m = 4(m), Range: , 0, symbol, f of m, symbol, 28 f of m = 4(m) plus 8 Range: , 8, symbol, f of m, symbol, 28 f of m = 4(m) plus 12, Range: , 0, symbol, f of m, symbol, 5

Answer 1

Explanation:

The options are not to clear, nevertheless let us model the expression for the cost.

Let y be the total cost

And x be the number of miles

Given that the fixed rate is $8 and $4 for each extra mile traveled

The total cost is

y=8+4x

For a 5 mile journey the cost is

y=8+4(5)

y=8+20

y=28

$28
