To find: the type of function, its expression and graph for the situation.
Answer to Problem 23E
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The table for island bicycle rental price for different time is as follows:
Time | Price ($) |
6 | |
1 hour | 10 |
2 hours | 16 |
Daily | 24 |
Calculation:
Let time in hours be h , and price in dollar ($) be p .
Since the table shows different non-linear rates, the function of price due to time should be a piecewise function.
So, the four parts of piecewise function will be as follows:
The piecewise function can be rewritten as follows:
The graph for the above function is as follows:
