Question

A taxi company charges $1.00 for the first mile (or part of a mile) and 10 cents for each succeeding tenth of a mile (or part). Express the cost C (in dollars) of a ride as a piecewise defined function of the distance x traveled (in miles) for 0 < x ≤ 2.

 

Part 1:

C(x) = { _____ if 0 < x ≤ 1}

        = { ______ 1 < x ≤ 1.1}

        = { ______ if 1.1 < x ≤ 1.2}

        = { ______  if 1.9 < x ≤ 2}

 

Part 2: sketch a graph
