the town taxi service would be cheapest because you choose a number 1-10 and plug it into N for both equations and see which taxi service is cheaper for miles 1-10 and than it will change for longer distance taxi rides and be the Supreme town taxi service!

The town taxi service is the answer

Hope this helped!!

Compare the costs on both taxi services for rides of 1-10 miles. Which company's prices are generally lower for that range?

Let x = 1 mile.

Supreme: $1.50+$1.75(1) = $3.25; Town: $1.90 + $1.60(1) = $3.50

Next, let x = 10 miles:

Supreme: $1.50+$1.75(10) = $19.00; Town: $1.90 + $1.60(10) = $17.90

Sometimes Supreme is the cheaper option; sometimes Town is. At what # of miles are the charges the same?

Set the charge functions = to each other and solve for x:

$1.50+$1.75x = $1.90 + $1.60x

Combining like terms, we get:

$0.15x = $0.40, so that x = 2 2/3 miles.

Supreme is the cheaper, for trips of 1 - 2 2/3 miles; Town is the cheaper, for trips of 2 2/3 miles - 10 miles.

How many discontinuities does the piecewise function have.?
Aleks04 [339]

In piecewise linear functions, the endpoint of one segment and the initial point of the next segment can have the same x-coordinate but a different value of f(x).

Such difference in values is called a step or discontinuity and such a function is called a discontinuous function.

Here in this case, there are 3 discontinuities: x=-3, x=3 and x = 5.

x = -3 because x is smaller than or greater than -3 but not equal.

x = 3 since greater than 3 in one of the inequalities.

x = 5 since x is smaller than 5 in one of the limits.
