Table shown below

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear Modeling

It consists of finding and using the equation of a line to represent the behavior of a real situation in numerical terms.

We are given the model of the charges for a satellite radio company that charges a fixed fee of $36 for installation and a variable fee of $42 per month for use.

The model is written as:

C(m) = 36 + 42m

Where m is the number of months.

For m=1:

C(1) = 36 + 42(1)=$78

For m=2:

C(2) = 36 + 42(2)=$120

For m=3:

C(3) = 36 + 42(3)=$162

For m=4:

C(4) = 36 + 42(4)=$204

For m=5:

C(5) = 36 + 42(5)=$246

The calculations are resumed in the table shown below.
