A car has 121,358 miles on its odometer and accumulates an average of 255 more each week. What is the function rule that represents the total number of M miles the car will have on the odometer after w weeks? (1 point)

Question

Responses

M(w)=121,358+255
cap m times w is equal to 121 comma 358 plus 255

M(w)=121,358w+255w
cap m times w is equal to 121 comma 358 w plus 255 w

M(w)=121,358w+255
cap m times w is equal to 121 comma 358 w plus 255

M(w)=121,358+255w
cap m times w is equal to 121 comma 358 plus 255 w

Answer 1

The correct function rule that represents the total number of miles \( M \) the car will have on the odometer after \( w \) weeks is:

\[ M(w) = 121,358 + 255w \]

This means that the initial mileage of the car (121,358 miles) is added to the total mileage accumulated over \( w \) weeks (which is \( 255 \) miles per week multiplied by the number of weeks \( w \)). Therefore, the final response is:

M(w) = 121,358 + 255w
