Question

write a function called taxi fare that computes the fare of taxi ride. It takes two inputs : the distance in kilometers (d) and the amount of wait time in minutes (t). The fare is calculated like this
(the first km is $5)
(every additional km is $2)
and every minuteof waiting is $0.25.
Once a km is started.It counts as a whole( Hint: consider the ceil built in function). The same rule applies wait to times. You can assume that d>0 and t>= 0 but they are not necessarily integers. The function returns the fare in dollars. For example ,a 3.5-km ride with2.25 minutes of wait costs $11.75. Note that loops and if statement are neither necessary nor allowed.
​

Answer 1

Given that,

The distance in kilometers (d) and the amount of wait time in minutes (t).

We need to find the fare in form of function

Using given data,

% function taking d and t as arguments

function fare = taxi_fare(d, t)

% taking the ceil values of d and t  

d = ceil(d);

t = ceil(t);

% calculating fare using rules given

$fare = 5 + 2\times(d-1) + 0.25\timest;$

end

% sample run

fare = taxi_fare(3.5,2.25)[/tex]

Hence, This is required answer.

Answer 2

Answer: %function is taxi_fare and input is d(km) and t(minutes)

function fare = taxi_fare(d,t)

%consider ceil as a built in function

d = ceil(d);

t = ceil(t);

fare = 5+[2*(d-1)]+(0.25*t);

end
