Answer

The monthly cost, $f\left( x \right)$ , for x text messages can be modeled by the function $f\left( x \right)=4+0.15x$.

Work Step by Step

$\text{Monthly cost of text message plan}=\$4$ Now, $\text{Cost for one text}=\$0.15\text{}$ Now the cost for x text messages will be x times of $\$0.15$ $\text{Cost of }x\text{ text messages}=\$\left(0.15x\right)$ Let $f\left( x \right)$ denotes the monthly cost, $f\left( x \right)=4+0.15x$ Therefore, the monthly cost, $f\left( x \right)$ , for x text messages can be modeled by the function $f\left( x \right)=4+0.15x$.
