A museum charges $5 per person for a guided tour with a group of 1 to 9 people or a fixed $50 fee for a group of 10 or more people. Write a
function relating the number of people,
to the cost,
Two different formulas will be needed. For
n -values under 10,
For values of
that are 10 or greater,
A cell phone company uses the function below to determine the cost,
in dollars for
gigabytes of data transfer.
Find the cost of using 1.5 gigabytes of data and the cost of using 4 gigabytes of data.
To find the cost of using 1.5 gigabytes of data,
we first look to see which part of the domain our input falls in. Because 1.5 is less than 2, we use the first formula.
To find the cost of using 4 gigabytes of data,
we see that our input of 4 is greater than 2, so we use the second formula.
Indicate on the
x -axis the boundaries defined by the intervals on each piece of the domain.
For each piece of the domain, graph on that interval using the corresponding equation pertaining to that piece. Do not graph two functions over one interval because it would violate the criteria of a function.
Graphing a piecewise function
Sketch a graph of the function.
Each of the component functions is from our library of toolkit functions, so we know their shapes. We can imagine graphing each function and then limiting the graph to the indicated domain. At the endpoints of the domain, we draw open circles to indicate where the endpoint is not included because of a less-than or greater-than inequality; we draw a closed circle where the endpoint is included because of a less-than-or-equal-to or greater-than-or-equal-to inequality.
[link] shows the three components of the piecewise function graphed on separate coordinate systems.
(a)
(b)
(c)
Now that we have sketched each piece individually, we combine them in the same coordinate plane. See

The domain of a function includes all real input values that would not cause us to attempt an undefined mathematical operation, such as dividing by zero or taking the square root of a negative number.
The domain of a function can be determined by listing the input values of a set of ordered pairs. See
[link] .
The domain of a function can also be determined by identifying the input values of a function written as an equation. See
[link] ,
[link] , and
[link] .
Interval values represented on a number line can be described using inequality notation, set-builder notation, and interval notation. See
[link] .
For many functions, the domain and range can be determined from a graph. See
[link] and
[link] .
An understanding of toolkit functions can be used to find the domain and range of related functions. See
[link] ,

A piecewise function is described by more than one formula. See
[link] and
[link] .
A piecewise function can be graphed using each algebraic formula on its assigned subdomain. See

Bacteria doesn't produce energy they are dependent upon their substrate in case of lack of nutrients they are able to make spores which helps them to sustain in harsh environments
_Adnan
But not all bacteria make spores, l mean Eukaryotic cells have Mitochondria which acts as powerhouse for them, since bacteria don't have it, what is the substitution for it?
Assimilatory nitrate reduction is a process that occurs in some microorganisms, such as bacteria and archaea, in which nitrate (NO3-) is reduced to nitrite (NO2-), and then further reduced to ammonia (NH3).
Elkana
This process is called assimilatory nitrate reduction because the nitrogen that is produced is incorporated in the cells of microorganisms where it can be used in the synthesis of amino acids and other nitrogen products
There are nothing like emergency disease but there are some common medical emergency which can occur simultaneously like Bleeding,heart attack,Breathing difficulties,severe pain heart stock.Hope you will get my point .Have a nice day ❣️

define infection ,prevention and control
Innocent
I think infection prevention and control is the avoidance of all things we do that gives out break of infections and promotion of health practices that promote life
