The total cost for the car rental is modeled by the function \( f(x) = 52x + 45 \), where \( x \) represents the number of days the car is rented.

In this equation, the term \( 52x \) represents the cost of renting the car for \( x \) days (with a daily rate of $52), while the constant term \( 45 \) represents the nonrefundable deposit.

Thus, the nonrefundable deposit is **$45**.
