Question
Topic Suggestion: Use the piecewise function below for F(x), the shipping charge as a function of the purchase amount. The shippping charge on the left is based on how expensive the purchase is on the right. X represents the amount of the purchase. Make up a short paragraph related to this information; include the amount you want to spend, and the costs involved.
F(x)= $3.95 if x 25
$5.95 if 25 < x 50
$6.95 if 50 < x 75
$7.95 if 75 < x 100
Free if x > 100
This is all I have and was provided for the question. This is calculus
Explanation / Answer
Expression Shipping + Handling Cost Total Purchase
f(x) = x+ 3.95 x 25
f((x) = x+5.95 25 <x<=50
f(x) = x+6.95 50<x<=75
f(x) = x+7.95 75<x<=100
f(x) = x+0 x>100
x is the cost of the handling or the purchase amount
the above is your piece wise function
So assume you are buying a product of 78 $
then your total cost will be 78 +7.95 = 85.95 $
