Answer 1

Is there a question about this rental chart?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

a.
step function
c.
absolute value function
b.
greatest integer function

Answer 4

It is not the absolute value function because all the times are positive, and the absolute value function is continuous.

That leaves step function and the greatest integer function. The greatest integer function is a type of step function. It would take a 1.5 hour ride and take it to the greatest integer NOT greater than 1.5 which is 1 hour, a cost of $10. But, 1.5 hours would cost the same price as 2 hours. That's out.

That leaves step function.
