Question

Prior to September, 2000, taxi fares from Washington DC to Maryland were described as follows: $2.00 up to and including 1⁄2 mile, $0.70 for each additional 1⁄2 mile increment.
-Write the piecewise function for 0 to 2 miles.
f(x) = ?

Answer 1

The piecewise function is

f(x) = 2, 0 < x ≤ 1/2

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

How to determine the piecewise function?

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
