Question

The graph represents the cost of catering a dinner as a function of the number of guests. On a coordinate plane, a graph titled Dinner Catering Cost shows Guests Served on the x-axis and Total cost in dollars on the y-axis. A piecewise function has 3 lines. The first line has an open circle at (0, 100) and goes up to a closed circle at (40, 600). The second line has an open circle at (40, 700) and goes up to a closed circle at (80, 1300). The third line has an open circle at (80, 1600) and goes up to (100, 2000). What is the catering cost for a dinner with 40 guests? $400 $600 $700 $800

Answer 1

Considering the piece-wise function described, the catering cost for a dinner with 40 guests is of $600.

What is a piece-wise function?

A piece-wise function is a function that has different definitions, depending on the input.

In this problem, considering between 0 and 40 guests, the definition is the open circle at (0, 100) and goes up to a closed circle at (40, 600), hence the catering cost for a dinner with 40 guests is of $600.
