Question 436937: Can't figure this out. Can someone please help me figure out how to do this.
1. Imagine you are at a gas station filling your tank with gas. The function C(g) represents the cost C of filling up the gas tank with g gallons. Given the equation
a. What does the number 3.03 represent?
b. Find C(2).
c. Find C(9).
d. For the average motorist, name one value for g that would be inappropriate for this function�s purpose. Explain why you chose that number.
e. If you were to graph C(g), what would be an appropriate domain and range? Explain your reasoning.

Answer by richard1234(7193) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
No equation provided but since the cost is usually linear it would be represented by C(g) = 3.03g, where 3.03 is the cost per gallon.

b) C(2) = 3.03(2) = 6.06

c) Likewise, C(9) = 3.03(9) = 27.27

d) What is the purpose of finding C(-1)?

e) The domain (and range) are assumed to be the set of nonnegative real numbers (since you can definitely buy zero gallons of gas).
