Answer:

The charges will be the same after 10 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Long Beach Towing Company:

Charges $40 plus $5 per mile. So after x miles, the charge will be of:

$L(x) = 40 + 5x$

Five-Star Towing Company:

Chargers of $70 plus $2 per mile. So after x miles, the charge will be of:

$F(x) = 70 + 2x$

After how many miles the charges for the two companied will be the same?

This is x for which:

$L(x) = F(x)$

$40 + 5x = 70 + 2x$

$5x - 2x = 70 - 40$

$3x = 30$

$x = \frac{30}{3}$

$x = 10$

The charges will be the same after 10 miles.

<h2>Answer</h2>

f(x) = 190(1.15)x

<h2>Explanation</h2>

To solve this, we are going to use the standard exponential function:

$f(x)=a(1+b)^x$

Where

$f(x)$ is the final price after $x$ years

$a$ is the initial price

$b$ is the rate in decimal form

$x$ is the time in years

We know from our problem that the initial price is $190, so $a=190$ . Now to convert the rate, 15%, to decimal form, we are going to divide it by 100%, so $r=\frac{15}{100} =0.15$ . Let's replace the values:

$f(x)=a(1+b)^x$

$f(x)=190(1+0.15)^x$

$f(x)=190(1.15)^x$
