• Uber charges $1.75 for each mile travelled. The base fare for Uber is $2.55 (Compare.com. 2017). The equation that can be developed to represent the cab company’s

Fare= Base Fare+1.75 *X (X is the number of miles) +time unit fee (mins*0.35)

While the information described is appropriate, please create a mathematical function / equation using numbers and variables.  Define variables and constants used in equation.

$0.35 is charged for every minute by Uber (Compare.com. 2017).

Gratuities and tips are not added in the route fare. However, if any passenger wants to offer tip/gratuity by choice, the employees are allowed to accept (Uber Help. n.d.).

The above equation is a function because it has a single answer for y for each x.  What is y in your equation?  Please describe.

• The overall cost to go from my home to a nearby job location will be calculated according to the distance which is 3 miles and 11 minutes.

Once equation is updated, use it to calculate your rideshare costs below.

Fare= Base Fare+1.75 *X (X is the number of miles) +time unit fee (mins*0.35)

Fare=2.55+1.75*3+11*0.35

Fare=2.55+5.25+3.85

Fare=11.65 estimated fare

• Linear equation match with the function equation that is created to estimate fare of the cab’s company. A single output is allotted to every input of a particular kind.
