Question

the cost of a taxi ride depends on the distance traveled. which of the following shows this idea expressed in function notation? a. cost(distance) b. cost(time) c. time(distance) d. distance(cost)

Explanation:

The problem states that the cost of a taxi ride depends on the distance traveled. In function notation, the dependent variable (cost) is a function of the independent variable (distance). So we need a function where the output is cost and the input is distance. Option A is cost(distance), which means cost is a function of distance. Option B has time as the input, which doesn't match. Option C has time as the output, and Option D has distance as a function of cost, which is the reverse of what's described.

Answer:

A. cost(distance)
