A car rental company charges a one-time application fee of 40 dollars, 55 dollars per day, and 13 cents per mile for its cars. A) Write a formula for the cost, C, of renting a car as a function of the number of days, d, and the number of miles driven, m. B) If C = f(d, m), then f(5, 600) =

Respuesta :

Answer:

A) C(d,m) = 40 + 55d + 0.13m

B) $448

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'd' be the number of days and 'm' the number of miles driven.

A) The cost function that describes a fixed amount of $40, added to a variable amount of $55 per day (55d) and a variable amount of 13 cents per mile (0.13m) is:

[tex]C(d,m) = 40 +55d +0.13m[/tex]

B) If  d = 5 and m =600, the total cost is:

[tex]C(5,600) = 40 +55*6 +0.13*600\\C(5,600)=\$448[/tex]

The cost is $448.

The formula for the cost, C of renting a car as a function of the number of days, d, and the number of miles driven, m is C f(d, m) = 40 + 55d + 0.13m

Given:

Application fee = $40

cost per day = $55

cost per mile = $0.13

let

Total cost = C

Number of days = d

Number of miles = m

Total cost, C = 40 + 55d + 0.13m

C f(d, m) = 40 + 55d + 0.13m

= 40 + 55(5) + 0.13(600)

= 40 + 275 + 78

= $393

Therefore, the cost of renting the car given the number of days is $393
