1 answer

To represent the cost of renting a boat as a function of the number of hours it is rented, we can define the function \( f(x) \) where \( x \) represents the number of hours the boat is rented. The cost is $150 per hour, so the function is given by:

\[ f(x) = 150x \]

In this function:

  • \( f(x) \) is the total cost of renting the boat for \( x \) hours.
  • \( 150 \) is the cost per hour.
  • \( x \) is the number of hours the boat is rented.
