A taxi charges a base fee plus $0.75/km.

Naily [24]

a) The rate of change in this situation is 0.75 dollars/km

b) The equation for the cost of hiring a taxi in terms of length of the

trip is y = 0.75 x + b

c) The initial value represents in this situation is $1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

A taxi charges a base fee plus $0.75/km.
A 10-km trip costs $8.70

∵ A rate of change is a rate that describes how one quantity

changes in relation to another quantity

∵ The unit cost of a taxi is 0.75 dollars for each 1 kilometer

∴ The rate of change = 0.75 dollars/km

a) The rate of change in this situation is 0.75 dollars/km

Assume that the cost of hiring a taxi is $y for length of a trip x km

and a base fee of $b

∵ The length of the trip = x km

∵ The cost per km = $0.75

∵ The base fee = $b

∵ The cost of hiring a taxi = $y

- Write an equation for the the cost of hiring a taxi

∴ y = 0.75 x + b

b) The equation for the cost of hiring a taxi in terms of length

of the trip is y = 0.75 x + b

∵ The length of the trip is 10 km

∴ x = 10

∵ The cost of the hiring a taxi is $8.70

∴ y = 8.70

- Substitute these values in the equation of part (b)

∵ y = 0.75 x + b

∴ 8.70 = 0.75(10) + b

∴ 8.70 = 7.5 + b

- Subtract 7.5 from both sides

∴ 1.2 = b

∵ b is the base fee

∴ b is the initial value

∴ The initial value = $1.2

c) The initial value represents in this situation is $1.2

Which piecewise function is shown in the graph?

mash [69]

Based on the characteristics of linear and piecewise functions, the piecewise function $f(x) = \left \{ {{-0.5\cdot x +1, \,x < 0} \atop {2\cdot x - 2, \,x \ge 0}} \right.$ is shown in the graph attached herein. (Correct choice: A)

<h3>How to determine a piecewise function</h3>

In this question we have a graph formed by two different linear functions. Linear functions are polynomials with grade 1 and which are described by the following formula:

y = m · x + b (1)

Where:

x - Independent variable.
y - Dependent variable.
m - Slope
b - Intercept

By direct observation and by applying (1) we have the following piecewise function:

$f(x) = \left \{ {{-0.5\cdot x +1, \,x < 0} \atop {2\cdot x - 2, \,x \ge 0}} \right.$

Based on the characteristics of linear and piecewise functions, the piecewise function $f(x) = \left \{ {{-0.5\cdot x +1, \,x < 0} \atop {2\cdot x - 2, \,x \ge 0}} \right.$ is shown in the graph attached herein. (Correct choice: A)
