Question

Simba Travel Agency arranges trips for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. For each trip, they charge an initial fee of \$100$100 in addition to a constant fee for each vertical meter climbed. For instance, the price for climbing to the Shira Volcanic Cone, which is 30003000 meters above the base of the mountain, is \$400$400. Let F(d)F(d) denote the fee of a trip FF (measured in dollars) as a function of the vertical distance climbed dd (measured in meters). Write the function's formula. F(d)=

Answer 1

Initial fee charged = $ 100

Fee for climbing 3000m = $400

So, constant fee for climbing 1 m = $ (400/3000) = $0.13

F(d) is the fee charged for the trip covering a vertical distance of d meters.

So, F(d) = 100 + 0.13d

It is so because the initial fee is the same for climbing any height and then a an amount is charged for climbing per meter.
