@AnswerMyQuestions very long

Answer 10

@AnswerMyQuestions that was about a stupid guy she thought wanted her

Answer 11

ok
This is a step function since it has a finite number of piece

Answer 12

f(x) = 35*x if x < or = 1000
= 27.50*x if x > 1000

Answer 13

@HARSH123 thanks

Answer 14

this function has two pieces and therefore is a step function
\and we can can that it is
step function is a piecewise constant function having only finitely many pieces.

Answer 15

ok my pleasure
