Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = total cost and x = number of tons
y = 125x + 7500
the total cost for transporting 15 tons...sub in 15 for x
y = 125(15) + 7500
y = 1875 + 7500
y = $ 9375 <===== total cost

Any polynomial function has the domain of all real numbers. So here we'll choose a polynomial function in order to illustrate this problem. So any polynomial of the form:

meets our requirements. Therefore, if we set:

Then, we'll have:
- A domain of all real numbers and the range all real numbers that are greater than or equal to zero.
This is shown graphically in the figure below.
