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 \( f(x) = 10x + 15 \) represents the total cost of the bicycle rental, where:

• \( 10x \) is the cost for the number of hours \( x \) that the bicycle is rented at a rate of $10 per hour.
• The constant \( 15 \) represents the flat rate.

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