A museum charges $40 for a group of 10 or fewer people. A group of more than 10 people must, in addition to the $40, pay $2 per person for the number of people above 10. The maximum group size is 50. Find the function that represents the cost as a function of the number of people going to the museum.



Answer :

The function that represents the cost of going to the museum for a group size of 50 is f(x) = 40x + 40.

What is a piecewise function ?

Piecewise function is defined as a function which contains sub functions according to it's independent variable.

According to the given question A museum charges 40 dollars for a group of 10 or fewer people.

This can be represented by f(x) = 40 for  1≤x≤10.

A group of more than 10 people must, in addition to the 40 dollars, pay 2 dollars per person for the number of people above 10.

This can be represented by f(x) = 2x + 40 for x > 10.

The maximum group size is 50 this can be represented as

f(x) = 40x + 40.

As cost of 10 people is 40 dollars remaining is 40 people which costs 2 dollars per person.
