In London, the charge of a tour bus consists of a fixed rental price plus a per kilometre rate, that depends on the distance of

the trip.
The per kilometre rate is $12/km. You decide to go on a 5 km trip, and it costs you $70.
a) What is the fixed rental cost? Show your work.
b) Determine the equation relating the cost, C, in dollars, and the distance, d, in km.
d) What is the cost of an 18 km trip?
e) What is the distance travelled if the total cost is $250?

Using a linear function, we have that:

a) The fixed cost is of $10.

b) The equation is: C = 10 + 12d.

c) The cost of an 18 km trip is $226.

d) The distance traveled is of 20 km.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

For this problem, the slope is of m = 12. When d = 5, C(d) = 70, hence we find the fixed cost as follows:

C(d) = 12d + b

70 = 60 + b

b = 10.

Hence the equation is:

C(d) = 12d + 10.

For a trip of 18 km, d = 18, hence the cost is:

C(12) = 12 x 18 + 10 = $226.

When the cost is of $250, the distance is found as follows:

250 = 12d + 10

12d = 240

d = 240/12

d = 20 km.

The following function describes the number of employees working at a company, In thousands, where trepresents the number of yea
NISA [10]

Consider the missing part of the question is "Select the correct statement.

A. The number of employees is increasing by 50% every year.

B. The number of employees is decreasing by 10% every year.

C. The number of employees is decreasing by 90% every year.

D. The number of employees is increasing by 90% every year."

Given:

The function is:

f(t)=1.5(0.90)^t

Where, f(t) is the number of employees working at a company, in thousands and t is the number of years since the company revised the benefits package.

To find:

The correct statement from the given options.

Solution:

The general exponential decay model is:

f(t)=a(1-r)^t         ...(i)

Where, a is the initial value, r is the rate of decay and t is the number of years.

We have,

f(t)=1.5(0.90)^t

It can be written as

f(t)=1.5(1-0.10)^t        ...(ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get

a=1.5,r=0.10

The initial value is 1.5 and the rate of decay is 0.10 or 10%. It means the number of employees is decreasing by 10% every year.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
