Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
Question
A car rental company's standard charge includes an initial fee plus and additional fee for each mile driven.
![### Combining Functions to Write a New Function That Models a Real-World Scenario
A car rental company's standard charge includes an initial fee plus an additional fee for each mile driven. The standard charge \(S\) (in dollars) is given by the function \(S = 0.60M + 17.75\), where \(M\) is the number of miles driven.
The company also offers an option to insure the car against damage. The insurance charge \(I\) (in dollars) is given by the function \(I = 0.25M + 3.70\).
Let \(C\) be the total charge (in dollars) for a rental that includes insurance. Write an equation relating \(C\) to \(M\). Simplify your answer as much as possible.
\[C = \]
