The piecewise function is

f(x) = 2, 0 < x ≤ 1/2

f(x) = 2 + 0.7x, x > 1/2

<h3>How to determine the piecewise function?</h3>

From the question, we have:

Fares = $2.00 ⇒ up to (and including) 1/2 miles

Fares = $0.70 increment ⇒ greater than 1/2 miles

Let x represent the number of miles, and f(x) the fares.

So, we have:

f(x) = 2, 0 < x ≤ 1/2

f(x) = 2 + 0.7x, x > 1/2

The above represents the piecewise function
