A company rents cars at $45 a day and 12 cents a mile. A second rental company's cars are $60 a day and 5 cents a mile. (a) For each company, give a formula for the cost of renting a car for a day as a function of the distance traveled. Assume distance m is measured in miles. Assume cost C is measured in dollars. First company: C1(m) = Second company: C2(m) (b) Drag the point to select the correct graph of both functions. 2$ 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 Choose one 20 10 miles 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 cheaper? Find the (c) How should you decide which company number of miles driven which gives the same cost of renting for both companies. NOTE: Round to the nearest whole number.
