Cesar rents a bicycle for a flat rate plus $10 per hour. He models the cost of the rental

Question

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?

Answer 1

The cost function is given by \( f(x) = 10x + 15 \), where:

• \( x \) is the number of hours the bicycle is rented,
• \( 10x \) represents the hourly fee of $10 per hour,
• \( 15 \) represents the flat rate.

From the function, we can see that the flat rate is the constant term, which is $15.
