Answer:
A) Enterprise: E(x) = 50 +0.25x; Hertz: H(x) = 30 +0.45x
B) see attached graph
Step-by-step explanation:
A) We choose to compare Hertz (lowest daily charge) and Enterprise (lowest mileage charge). In each case, the total charge will be the sum of the daily charge and the product of the mileage charge and number of miles (x).
Enterprise: E(x) = 50 +0.25x
Hertz: H(x) = 30 +0.45x
Answer: Option A
Step-by-step explanation:
In the graph we have a piecewise function composed of a parabola and a line.
The parabola has the vertex in the point (0, 2) and cuts the y-axis in y = 2.
The equation of this parabola is
Then we have an equation line
Note that the interval in which the parabola is defined is from -∞ to x = 1. Note that the parabola does not include the point x = 1 because it is marked with an empty circle " о ."
(this is )
Then the equation of the line goes from x = 1 to ∞ . In this case, the line includes x = 1 because the point at the end of the line is represented by a full circle .
(this is )
Then the function is:
