Sheldon and Leonard are preparing for their annual trip to Comic-Con, a comic book convention.

After careful analysis of route options, and based on traffic patterns, Leonard determines the following: while driving at a constant pace, they will travel 50 miles in the first hour, 255 miles in the next 3 hours, and 120 miles in the next 2 hours.

1. Create a piecewise function representing Leonard and Sheldon’s traveling time and distance.

2.What does domain mean in the context of this situation? Identify the domain of the function.
