A downtown parking lot charges $2 for the first hour and $1 for each additional hour or part of an hour.

Question

I am struggling so much with piecewise functions. I just find it hard to grasp. This is one of my homework questions and I would like to know how write a piecewise function using it.

Answer 1

This shouldn't require a piecewise function; you will want the greatest integer function.

If H is the # of hours parked, the charge will be 2 + greatest integer in (H ).
