The Sugar Sweet Company is going to transport its sugar to market. It will cost $3500 to rent trucks, and it will cost an additi
onal $150 for each ton of sugar transported.
Let C represent the total cost (in dollars), and let S represent the amount of sugar (in tons) transported. Write an equation relating C to S. Then use this
equation to find the total cost to transport 19 tons of sugar.
The fundamental difference between the linear and quadratic functions is observed in their respective graphs. A linear function is represented by a straight line and a quadratic function is represented by a curve called a parabola.
