The linear model of this case takes the form:
y = a(x-b) + k
<span>The cost of having a package delivered has a base fee of $9.70
this is "k" >>>>> k=9.7 (fixed amount of fee)
THEN
</span>
<span>Every pound over 5 lbs cost an additional $0.46 per pound
that means: 0.46(x-5)
in other words, if the package weighs foe example 9 pounds, then 9-5=4, it will cost 0.46*4 for these 4 extra pounds
Finally we have the linear form of this: C = 0.46 (W - 5) + 9.7
</span>
"Linear function" means the highest degree of any term is 1.
Equation 1: degree is 2
Equation 2: degree is 2
Equation 3: degree is 1 . . . . this is your linear function
Equation 4: degree is 4
Domain: (-infinity, +infinity)
range: (0, +infinity)
It should be 8473x 38473 93
12'000×1.5 I think might need to multiple your answer by 4 yet
