Question:
The charge to rent a trailer is $25 for up to 2 hours plus $9 per additional hour or portion of an hour.
Find the cost to rent a trailer for 2.8 hours, 3 hours, and 8.7 hours.
Then graph all ordered pairs, (hours, cost), for the function.
Answer:
ordered pair = (2.8, 34)
ordered pair = (3, 34)
ordered pair = (8.7, 88)
Step-by-step explanation:
Charge for 2.8 hours:
$25 for 2 hours
$9 for 0.8 hour
Total = $25 + $9
Total = $34
ordered pair = (2.8, 34)
Charge for 3 hours:
$25 for 2 hours
$9 for 1 hour
Total = $25 + $9
Total = $34
ordered pair = (3, 34)
Charge for 8.7 hours:
$25 for 2 hours
$9 for 1 hour
$9 for 1 hour
$9 for 1 hour
$9 for 1 hour
$9 for 1 hour
$9 for 1 hour
$9 for 0.7 hour
Total = $25 + $9 + $9 + $9 + $9 + $9 + $9 + $9
Total = $88
ordered pair = (8.7, 88)
The obtained ordered pairs are graphed, please refer to the attached graph.
Answer:
• David
,
• 4 miles
Explanation:
In the graph:
The given locations are:
• Owen's House, A(11,3)
,
• David's House, B(15,13)
,
• School, C(3,18)
We determine both Owen's and David's distance from the school using the distance formula.

Owen's distance from school (AC)
![\begin{gathered} AC=\sqrt[]{(3-11)^2+(18-3)^2} \\ =\sqrt[]{(-8)^2+(15)^2} \\ =\sqrt[]{64+225} \\ =\sqrt[]{289} \\ AC=17\text{ miles} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20AC%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%283-11%29%5E2%2B%2818-3%29%5E2%7D%20%5C%5C%20%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%28-8%29%5E2%2B%2815%29%5E2%7D%20%5C%5C%20%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B64%2B225%7D%20%5C%5C%20%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B289%7D%20%5C%5C%20AC%3D17%5Ctext%7B%20miles%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
David's distance from school (BC)
![\begin{gathered} BC=\sqrt[]{(3-15)^2+(18-13)^2} \\ =\sqrt[]{(-12)^2+(5)^2} \\ =\sqrt[]{144+25} \\ =\sqrt[]{169} \\ BC=13\text{ miles} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20BC%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%283-15%29%5E2%2B%2818-13%29%5E2%7D%20%5C%5C%20%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%28-12%29%5E2%2B%285%29%5E2%7D%20%5C%5C%20%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B144%2B25%7D%20%5C%5C%20%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B169%7D%20%5C%5C%20BC%3D13%5Ctext%7B%20miles%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
We see from the calculations that David lives closer to the school, and by 4 miles.
The graph below is attached for further understanding:
The answer would be : 18.0
Hope this helps !
