Question

a rental car company charges renters a varying amount of money based on the number of miles that they drive. let ( d ) represent the number of miles that a driver drove a rental car from this company, and let ( c ) represent the cost charged to the renter in dollars. the graph of ( c ) in terms of ( d ) is shown below.

a. if ( d = 60 ) then ( c = ) this means that if the driver drove 60 miles in the rental car, then the renter will be charged ( $ )
b. if ( c = 20 ) then ( d = ) this means that if the renter is charged ( $ 20 ), then the driver drove miles.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the graph for part a

Locate \(d = 60\) on the horizontal axis. Then find the corresponding \(c\) - value on the vertical axis.

Step2: Analyze the graph for part b

Locate \(c=20\) on the vertical axis. Then find the corresponding \(d\) - value on the horizontal axis.

Answer:

a. If \(d = 60\), then \(c = 50\). This means that if the driver drove \(60\) miles in the rental car, then the renter will be charged \(\$50\).
b. If \(c = 20\), then \(d = 0\). This means that if the renter is charged \(\$20\), then the driver drove \(0\) miles.
