MetroMedia Cable is asked to provide service to a customer whose house is located 2 miles from the road along which the cable is buried. The nearest connection box for the cable is located 5 miles down the road

a) if the installation cost is $500 along the road and $700 per mile off the road, build a model that expresses the total cost C of the installation as a function of the distance X in miles from the connection box to the point where the installation turns off the road. give the domain.

B) compute the cost if X=1, X=3

along the road it is $500 per mile and off the road it is $700 per mile

anonymous · Answer

along the 5 mile road yes so i need to figure out (5-x)

anonymous · Answer

and then from (5-x) across from the 2 miles in the picture

anonymous · Answer

its a function problem and i think i need to use the Pythagorean theorem

anonymous · Answer

the total cost for the road on the 5 mile side is 2500

anonymous · Answer

it is 500 per mile and 5 total miles on one side

anonymous · Answer

no because the question is if the installation cost is $500 per mile along the road and $700 per mile off the road build a model that expresses the total cost C of the installation as a function of the distance X in miles from the connection box to the point where the installation turns off the road. give the domain.
