Question

A car dealership offers customers two pricing options for vehicle repair. Option 1: pay $80 per hour of wok. Option 2: pay a standard fee of $100 plus $400 per hour of work. What is the initial value and the rate of change for option 1

Answer 1

Answer:

1: The initial value for option one is not charged

The rate of change for option 1 is $80/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

1. From the pricing options at the car dealership we have;

Option 1

Initial value = Not stated

Fee rate per hour of work = $80

Option 2

Standard fee = $100

Fee rate per hour of work = $400

The initial value for option one is not charged

The rate of change = The increase in payment for each increase in one hour of work = $80/hour

Mathematically, we have;

$The \ rate \ of \ change = \dfrac{\Delta Payment}{\Delta Time} = \dfrac{\ 80 - \ 0}{1 \, h- 0 \, h} = \ 80/hr$
