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 cost function for the bicycle rental is given by \( f(x) = 10x + 15 \), where \( x \) is the number of hours rented.

In this function:

• The term \( 10x \) represents the hourly fee, which is $10 per hour.
• The constant term \( 15 \) represents the flat rate charged for renting the bicycle.

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