To find: the type of function, its expression and graph for the situation.
Answer to Problem 24E
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Cost of mailing for first ounce of letter = $0.37
Cost of mailing each additional ounce or portion thereof = $0.23
Calculation:
Let weight in ounce be Z , and cost in dollar ($) be C .
Since the table shows different non-linear rates of cost, the function of cost due to weight should be a piecewise function.
So, the two 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:
