Given:
The piecewise function.
Required:
What is a real-world example where a piecewise function might be used?"
Explanation:
A piecewise-defined function is a function defined by multiple sub-functions, where each sub-function applies to a different interval in the domain.
The example is:
Something like "buy 5, and get each one after that at half price" say at a grocery store or clothing store. For example, let C(x) be the cost of the item for the consumer and p(x) be the price (assume it is constant.)
[tex]C(x)=5p|x\leq5\text{ }or\text{ }C(x)=5p+(x-5)\cdot\frac{1}{2}|x>5[/tex]Answer:
Completed the answer.
