The cost of driving a car includes both fixed costs and mileage cost. assume that a costs $176.10 per month for insurance and car payments and $0.25 per mile for gasoline, oil, and routine maintenance. $176.10 per month for insurance and car payments and $0.25 per mile for gasoline, oil, and routine maintenance. (a) find values for m and b so that y=mx+b modells the monthly cost of driving the car x miles (b) what does the value of b represents ?

A. plot the data for the functions f(x) and g(x) on a grid and connect the points. x -2 -1 0 1 2 f(x) 1/9 1/3 1 3 9 x -2 -1 0 1 2 g(x) -4 -2 0 2 4 b. which function could be described as exponential and which as linear? explain. c. if the functions continue with the same pattern, will the function values ever be equal? if so, give estimates for the value of x that will make the function values equals. if not, explain why the function values will never be equal.
