Piecewise Functions
Piecewise Functions
A piecewise function is a function in which
more than one formula is used to define
the output. Each formula has its own
domain, and the domain of the function is
the union of all these smaller domains.
We notate this idea like this:
example
A user is charged ₱250.00 monthly for a
particular mobile plan, which includes 200
free text messages. Messages in excess of
200 are charged ₱1.00 each. Represent
the monthly cost for text messaging using
the function t(m), where m is the number
of messages sent in a month.

example
A certain chocolate bar costs ₱50.00 per
piece. However, if you buy more than 5
pieces, they will mark down the price to
₱48.00 per piece. Use a piecewise
function to represent the cost in terms of
the number of chocolate bars bought.

example
The cost of hiring a catering service to
serve food for a party is ₱250.00 per head
for 50 persons or less, ₱200.00 per head for
51 to 100 persons, and ₱150.00 per head
for more than 100. Represent the total
cost as a piecewise function of the
number of attendees to the party.
