A rental car company offers two rental plans, Plan A and Plan B, for the same economy size car. For both plans, the total rental cost f
(
m
)
is a function of the number of miles
m
that the car is driven.

Plan A:
f
(
m
)
=
0.12
m
+
75

Plan B:
f
(
m
)
=
0.35
m

I. In complete sentences, translate each function into a verbal model describing the total cost of the rental in terms of the number of miles that the car is driven.

II. For each function, determine how the rate of change will affect the total cost of a car rental.

III. For a car rental that will include a maximum of 250 miles for the duration of the rental, which plan is the most cost effective?

the answer will be

, and

for

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be

, and for

gmt is 4 hrs ahead of edt so just add four hours to 1: 14: 20 (minutes and seconds stay the same)

gmt is 5: 14: 20

hope this !
