Rental Car Cost The cost to rent a small-size car is $39 per day or fraction of a day. If the car is picked up in Chicago and dropped off in St. Louis, there is a fixed $27 drop-off charge. Let C(x) represent the cost of renting the car for x days, taking it from Chicago to St. Louis. Find the following. (a) C(2/3) (b) C(8/9) (c) C(1) (e) Find the cost of renting the car for 4.7 days. () Graph y = C(x). (g) Is Ca function? Explain. (h) Is Ca linear function? Explain. (i) What is the independent variable? 1) What is the dependent variable?

Profit A wholesaler sells graphing calculators. For an order of x calculators his total cost in dollars is C=50+30x0.1x2 and his total revenue is R=50x0.05x2 a Find the profit P on an order of x calculators. b Find the profit on an order of 10 calculators and on an order of 20 calculators.
Agriculture At a certain vineyard it is found that each grape vine produces about 10 lb of grapes in a season when about 700 vines are planted per acre. For each additional vine that is planted, the production of each vine decreases by about 1 percent. So, the number of pounds of grapes produced per acre is modeled by An=700+n10-0.01n where n is the number of additional vines planted. Find the number of vines that should be planted to maximize grape production.

Agriculture the number of apples produced by each tree in an apple orchard depends on how densely the trees are planted. If n trees planted on an acre of land, then each tree produce 900 - 9n apples, so the number of applesproduced per acre is A(n) = n(900 - 9n) How many trees should be planted per acre to obtain the maximum yield of apples?
