Question

Cesar rents a bicycle for a flat rate plus $10 per hour. He models the cost of the rental with the function f(x)=10x+15 , where x is the number of hours he rents the bicycle, and f(x) is the total cost of the bicycle rental, including the flat rate and the hourly fee. What is the flat rate for the bicycle rental?(1 point)

Answer 1

The function given for the cost of the bicycle rental is \( f(x) = 10x + 15 \), where \( x \) is the number of hours rented. In this function, \( 10x \) represents the hourly cost (which is $10 per hour), and the constant term \( 15 \) represents the flat rate charged for renting the bicycle.

Thus, the flat rate for the bicycle rental is $15.
