Answer 1

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Gasoline fill-up fee = $4.50

Cost per hour = $40

Average cost = C

Number of hours the scootcar is rented = h

Cost per h hours = $40h

Total cost = $40h + $4.50

Hence,

C = 40h+4.5

B. To plot the graph of the function, find h- and C- intercepts.

When h = 0, then C = 4.5, and we have point (0,4.5)

When C = 0, then 0 = 40h + 4.5, h = -45/400 = -0.1125, and we have point (-0.1125,0)

Plot these two points and connect them with a straight line.

Graph is attached, but you should take only that part of the graph that corresponds to points with h > 0, because the number of hours cannot be negative
