A shipping company charges a cost per pound plus a fixed fee to ship a package. the total cost, f(x) in dollars of shipping x pounds is modeled by the function f(x)=4.99x+5.75. which part of the function represents the fixed fee?

Respuesta :

the fixed fee is the part of $5.75

Answer:

The fixed fee is represented by "5.75".

Step-by-step explanation:

In this function, the part that represents the fixed fee is the "5.75", this part is called interception or origin, which is a value that stays the same regardless of the number of pounds. Unlike the "4.99X" part, which is going to change depending on the number of pounds.  The "5.75" part is never changing, it's a value that always will be charged to the payment.
