An automotive repair center charges $45 for any part of the first hour of labor, and $25 for any part of each additional hour. which of the following is a correct cost? a. c(t) = 145 for 5 < x ≤ 6 b. c(t) = 145 for 6 < x ≤ 7 c. c(t) = 170 for 5 < x ≤ 6 d. c(t) = 170 for 6 < x ≤ 7

The total cost is given by the equation:
C(t) = 45 + 25(h-1) where h is the number of hours worked.

We can check for each option in turn:

Option A:

Inequality 5 < x ≤ 6 means the hour is between 5 hours (not inclusive) to 6 hours (inclusive)
Let's take the number of hours = 5
C(5) = 45 + (5-1)×25 = 145
Let's take the number of hours = 6
Then substitute into C(6) = 45 + (6-1)×25 = 170
We can't take 145 because the value '5' was not inclusive.

Option B:
The inequality is 6 < x ≤ 7
We take number of hours = 6
C(6) = 25(6-1) + 45 = 170
We take number of hours = 7
Then C(7) = 25(7-1) + 45 = 195

Option C:
The inequality is 5 < x ≤ 6
Take the number of hours = 5
C(5) = 25(5-1) + 45 = 145
Take the number of hours = 6
C(6) = 25(6-1) + 45 = 170
We can't take the value 145 as '5' was not inclusive in the range, but we can take 170

Option D:
6 < x ≤ 7
25(6-1) + 45 < C(t) ≤ 25(7-1) + 45
170 < C(t) ≤ 195

Correct C
