Part I: The preceding process should have illuminated the basic procedure we will use to find the total cost of a trip. ‘Next we will find the total cost ifthe truck is driven at 70 miles per hour. As in Part J, include the correct units with each value, Show your work. A.

We should now have a good process for determining the total cost of a trip for any rate of speed greater than or equal to 50 miles per hour. Next is to create a Total Cost function using ¥'as the unknown rate in miles per hour. Your answers below should contain only one variable, X, Show your work. Then simplify your answers and remember to include units. As you work through each step, test your answers by plugging in 50 mph and then 70 mph and comparing swith results from parts Land Il A. Let's find how long the trip will take. time = 380 350 x x ‘The length of time required for the trip is. B. Now with this time known, how much will it cost to pay the driver and run the truck?

Next, to begin determining the fuel cost, we need to find the mileage (miles per gallon of fuel) when the truck is travelling at X miles per hour. 6.5~ (x - 50)(0,42) = 65-0.12x+6 425 = BAM uv ‘The mileage at X miles per houris D.

The last thing we should do is verify that this is the correct function by evaluating it at 50 mph and 70 mph to see if we get the same values we have previously computed. Note: if your function does not output the correct costs, then you have made an error and will need to correct it (50) = 45535 ‘ 48F,5 gO) 12.5 - 012,650) £459.66 C70) = 535, _7835 # 42.5- 0.120) =9444.57 Part IV. Assuming the function is modeling correctly, you need to calculate the minimum cost. Use graphing software to graph the Cost Function and find its minimum point on the given domain. Include a printed copy of your graph that includes axes correctly labeled with numerical values and with a verbal description of the variables being represented. 09,0) U Co 6 )UC94.16, 00 The real world domain of the Cost Function is 1104.16 )U C498 tells you ae to set your ‘minimum and maximum values on the horizontal axis in order to view the part of the graph that is pertinent to this problem. ‘You may need to set your minimum and maximum values on the vertical axis in order to correctly view the pertinent portion of the graph.
