The function is neither even nor odd, but $$f(x) \geq 0$$ for all $$x.$$

Question 11

A company charges a flat fee of \$$15 plus \2 $$per mile for a delivery. Write the cost $$C as a $$function of miles $$m$$, and find the cost for a 10-mile delivery.

Accepted Answer

$$C(m) = 2m + 15$$, $$C(10) = 35$$
