Part a: marguerite rented a truck at $125 for 2 days. if she rents the same truck for 5 days, she has to pay a total rent of $275. write an equation in the standard form to represent the total rent (y) that marguerite has to pay for renting the truck for x days. (4 points) part b: write the equation obtained in part a using function notation. (2 points) part c: describe the steps to graph the equation obtained above on the coordinate axes. mention the labels on the axes and the intervals. (4 points)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
