What is a piecewise function for this situation?

Question

The admission rates at an amusement park are as follows.

    Children 5 years old and under: free

    Children between 5 years and 12 years, inclusive: $10.00

    Children between 12 years and 18 years, inclusive: $25.00

    Adults: $35.00

 

- Write a piecewise function that gives the admission price for a given age.

 

THANK YOU!!

Answer 1

Let A = Age.

Let R = Rate.

If A <= 5, R = 0.

If 5 < A <= 12, R = $10.

If 12 < A <= 18, R = $25.

If 18 < A, R = $35.

For a histogram, Age would be on the X-axis and Rate would be on the Y-axis. You could see the heights in the bins. You could also enter these into a table.
