A landscaping company charges $49 per cubic yard of mulch plus a delivery charge of $23. Find a linear function which computes the total cost C (in dollars) to deliver x cubic yards of mulch.

Answer 1

The linear function that computes the total cost C (in dollars) to deliver x cubic yards of mulch is given by:

C(x) = 49x + 23

In this function, 49 represents the cost per cubic yard of mulch, and the constant term 23 represents the delivery charge.
