Makayla is moving and must rent a truck. There is an initial charge of $40 for the rental plus a fee of $3 per mile driven. Write an equation for the function C(m),C(m), representing the total cost of renting the truck if Makayla were to drive mm miles.

C(m) = $(40+3m)

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to write an equation representing the total cost of renting a truck by Makayla.

We proceed as follows;

Form the question, we can deduce that there is an initial cost of $40 and a rental fee of $3 per mile driven.

Now, we were made to know that she had driven m miles. We now calculate the rental fee for this m miles she has driven. Mathematically, we only need to find the product here. The rental fees for the m Miles traveled would be m * 3 = $3m

Now the total cost C(m) would be = $40 + $3m or simply C(m) = $(40+3m)

a negative exponent is translated as follows:

so, we have
