A
cab company charges a flat fee boarding rate in addition to a per
mile rate. Using your own experience or some internet research, write
an equation that represents a cab company’s rate taking into
account the initial flat boarding rate and the per mile rate.
Identify
the independent and the dependent variables and describe how they are
related.

What
would you consider the domain and the range of the function to be?
How
much would it cost to go from your home to nearest grocery store in
this cab?
Would
you suspect that it could be modeled by a linear, a quadratic
function, or another type of function?
