Question

need help pleassee help me
A school is ordering boxes of copy paper for its teachers. When placing their order, the paper company explains the pricing to them as follows. If they order no more than 1000 boxes, the company will charge them $35 per box. If they order more than 1000 boxes, the company will charge them $27.50 per box.

Which type of function would best model this situation: a step function or a piecewise function that is not a step function? Explain.

Answer 1

This is a step function since it has a finite number of pieces, namely
f(x) = 35*x if x < or = 1000
= 27.50*x if x > 1000

Answer 4

ok thanks

Answer 5

Can I have a medal and fan

Answer 6

f(x)={50,50+0.1(x−500),if x≤500if x>500a

Answer 7

we need a piecewise function that is not a greatest integer function because the phone bill can be in cents also... for example, if u have used 501 minutes, f(x) will be 50+0.1(501-500) = 50.1. which is clearly not an integer. so you need a piecewise function which is not a greatest integer funciton
