a.
To find: the type of function for the given situation.
a.
Answer to Problem 26E
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The table of values given is as follows:
Value of order | Shipping, Packing, and Handling charge |
$0.00-25.00 | $3.50 |
$25.01-75.00 | $5.95 |
$75.01-125.00 | $7.95 |
$125.01 and up | $9.95 |
Calculation:
Since the table shows different non-linear rates, the function of charges due to value should be a piecewise function.
Thus, the type of function for the given situation is piecewise function.
b.
To find: shipping charges as a function of value of the order.
b.
Answer to Problem 26E
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The table of values given is as follows:
Value of order | Shipping, Packing, and Handling charge |
$0.00-25.00 | $3.50 |
$25.01-75.00 | $5.95 |
$75.01-125.00 | $7.95 |
$125.01 and up | $9.95 |
Calculation:
Let value of order be V , and charges in dollar ($) be C .
Since the table shows different non-linear rates of cost, the function of cost due to weight should be a piecewise function.
So, the four parts of piecewise function will be as follows:
c.
To graph: the function.
