Towing Cost Calculations and Functions

This video tutorial explains a linear function application using a towing company's cost model. It covers writing a cost function formula, calculating costs for specific distances, solving for distance given a cost, and identifying the practical domain and range. The tutorial concludes with graphing the cost function.

What is the base fee charged by the towing company?

• $40

• $35

• $30

• $25

How much does the towing company charge per mile driven?

• $3.00

• $3.50

• $2.50

• $3.25

If the towing company drives 15 miles, what is the total cost?

• $75.00

• $80.00

• $78.75

• $82.50

What is the ordered pair representation for a 15-mile tow costing $78.75?

• (82, 15)

• (15, 78.75)

• (15, 82)

• (78.75, 15)

If the total cost is $82, how many miles were driven?

• 17 miles

• 16 miles

• 15 miles

• 14 miles

What is the practical domain of the function in terms of miles?

• 0 to 20 miles

• 0 to 25 miles

• 5 to 25 miles

• 10 to 30 miles

What is the minimum cost for towing, even if no miles are driven?

• $40

• $35

• $30

• $25

What is the maximum cost for a 25-mile tow?

• $115.00

• $111.25

• $105.00

• $100.00

Which of the following is a correct ordered pair from the table of values?

• (5, 50)

• (0, 30)

• (10, 70)

• (20, 100)

What is the vertical intercept of the graph of the cost function?

• (5, 46.25)

• (10, 62.5)

• (0, 30)

• (0, 0)
