Answer 1

What does that even mean? Please explain that very strange sentence!

Answer 2

uh so like uh For the first two miles the fare is free

Answer 3

how do you write a function showing the cost for riding the train x miles

Answer 4

Answer 5

@Hero

Answer 6

Post the complete question.

Answer 7

f(x) = 0 for 0 < x <= 2, where x = miles train travelled

Answer 8

toThe train is discounting fares by not charing for the first 2 miles of the ride. Write a function representing the cost of the train trip home

Answer 9

x = miles train travelled
f(x) = cost of train trip

Answer 10

not f(x)= x-2?

Answer 11

Nope f(x) = 0, 0 < x <=2 according to the information you provided.

Answer 12

ohhhh thanks

Answer 13

so will the graph be v shaped?

Answer 14

No, it will look like this:

Answer 15

how would you write the rest of the equatin like if the train ride is 5 miles or like 3 miles

Answer 16

You haven't given enough information to write the rest of the function. You only provided enough information to write for the first 2 miles.

Answer 17

Any other questions?

Answer 18

ohhh i guess i haven't really understood the question yet THANKS

Answer 19

total fare to be paid = (no. of miles -2 free)* cost per mile charged

Answer 20

repost
f(x) = 0 for 0 < x <= 2, where x = miles train travelled
this is also true this was given.

Answer 21

ok so I gave the cost of leaving I wrote total fare to be paid.
From a later post., the real question is
Write a function representing the cost of the train trip home.
The trip home does not include any kind of discount so it would be
f(x) = x* cost per mile where x is the distance traveled
