Answer:
440 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
A rental company charges for rent a truck = $75 per day
and the charges per mile = 20 cents
100 cents = 1 dollar
20 cents =
= $0.20
Michael rents a truck for 2 days.
Let Michael drove the truck in 2 days = x miles
and his bill came to $238.
the equation will be : (75 × 2) + 0.20x = 238
150 + 0.20x = 238
0.20x = 238 - 150
0.20x = 88
x =
x = 440
Michael drove the truck 440 miles in 2 days.

Let's assume the opposite is the case. So let's assume that a = b is true. If so, then f(a) and f(b) would be the same output. This is because we can replace 'b' with 'a', or vice versa. In other words, f(a) = f(b) would be true. But this contradicts the original inequality that f(b) < f(a)
So that is why 'a' cannot equal b. We don't know if a > b or if a < b (unless we are told if the function is strictly decreasing or increasing on the interval from x = a to x = b), so we just leave it as
