hello
from the question given, the dog walker charges a flat rate of $6 and an extra $30 per hour.
we can write out an equation in function notation
let the number of hours be represented by x
[tex]f(x)=6+30x[/tex]
now we can proceed to solve the cost of the walk for 45 minutes
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1hr=60\min s \\ \text{xhr}=45\min s \\ x=\frac{45}{60} \\ x=\frac{3}{4} \\ \text{therefore 45mins = 3/4 hours} \end{gathered}[/tex]
now we can input the value into the equation and know the cost for 45 minutes walk
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(x)=6+30x \\ x=\frac{3}{4} \\ f(x)=6+30(\frac{3}{4}) \\ f(x)=6+22.5 \\ f(x)=28.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]
from the calculation above, the cost of 45 minutes walk will cost $28.5
