From the given values of the library fine each day, we can conclude that F (n) = 0.15n+0.35.

To verify the answer, replace n=1,2,3, ...

F (1) = 0.15 (1) + 0.35=0.5

F (2) = 0.15 (2) + 0.35 = 0.65

F (3) = 0.15 (3) + 0.35=0.8

Marisa's fine athe library could be represneted by the function F (n) = 0.15n+35.
