Question

Ben has a cell phone plan that provides 200 free minutes each month for a flat rate of $39. For any minutes over 200, Ben is charged $0.35 per minute. Which of the following piecewise functions accurately represents charges based on Ben's cell phone plan?

Answer 1

Answer:C

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

$\left\{\begin{matrix}39 & x\leq 200\\ 39+(x-200)\times 0.35 & x>200\end{matrix}\right.$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Ben has a cell phone plan that provides 200 free minutes each month for a flat rate of $39.

We are also told that For any minutes over 200, Ben is charged $0.35 per minute.

let x  be the minutes used each month

So, if $x\leq 200$

So, coat will be $39

If $x>200$

So, Ben is charged $0.35 per minute

So, when $x>200$

So, charge = $39+(x-200)\times 0.35$

So, the piecewise functions accurately represents charges based on Ben's cell phone :

$\left\{\begin{matrix}39 & x\leq 200\\ 39+(x-200)\times 0.35 & x>200\end{matrix}\right.$
