Q:

A company rents moving vans for a charge of $30 plus $0.50 per mile. the company only allows its vans to be user for "in-town" moves, with total mileage limited to 100 miles. the total rental cost, C(m), (in dollars) is a function of the distance m (in miles) that the van is driven. state a rule for the function, graph the function, and state its domain and range

Accepted Solution

A:
remember the cost cannot be a number lesser than zero. so the domain must be such that the total cost C(m) is not negative. Also the range will always be 0.5 and above provided our domain is greater than or equal to zero.
