Answer: yes, because it is useful to describe changes in the behavior of the thing we are describing.

Step-by-step explanation:

A piecewise function f(x) is a function that is "different" depending on the range of the values of x, this is for example:

y = x -----> if x < 0

y = x^2 ----- if x ≥ 0

This is used to represent changes in the behavior of the thing we are describing.

For example, suppose an object that is moving with constant velocity, the velocity graph will be a constant line.

Now, the object suddenly, at a time t = t0 accelerates to a constant acceleration A, now the graph of the velocity is a linear graph with slope equal to A.

So this situation can be represent this with a piecewise function:

V(t) = c -----> if t < t0

V(t) = c + A*t -----> if t ≥ t0

So the answer is yes, we can.

A store marks down the price of a necklace from $389.85 to $314.15. By what percent did the price decrease? Round to two decimal
Nata [24]
C. 19.42% because you subtract 389.85 from 314.15 which equals 75.7. So then set it up like an algebraic equation. 389.85x=75.7 divide 75.7 by 389.85 to find the decimal. Then you have to move the decimal to the right two places, since it is a percentage. And then round your answer, so c. 19.42% is your answer. Hope this helped! :)
