M = number of miles
m = 2.7 is plugged into the equation to get
C = 0.20*m + 2.00
C = 0.20*2.7 + 2.00
C = 0.54 + 2.00
C = 2.54
The cost is $2.54
Pythagoras theorem I guess
Fractional index means "xth root of". Negative index means a fraction. So together, what it really means is:
![\frac{1}{\sqrt[5]{32}} = \frac{1}{2}.](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%5Csqrt%5B5%5D%7B32%7D%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D.)
