A van can be rented for P4500 four four days but an Extension of Another and onwards will cost you an Additional of P550 per day. Represent Cost of Renting the Van As a piecewise function of the number of days it is rented
f(d) =
4500 if d<=4
4500+550⌈(d-4)⌉ if d>4
stupid html. Make that
f(d) =
4500 if d<=4
4500+550⌈d-4⌉ if d>4
To represent the cost of renting the van as a piecewise function, we need to define different formulas for different intervals.
Let's divide the number of days into two intervals:
1. For the first four days, the cost is P4500.
2. For the fifth day and onwards, the cost is P550 per day.
Let's denote the number of days as 'x'. The piecewise function for the cost of renting the van would be as follows:
1. For x <= 4:
Cost(x) = P4500
2. For x > 4:
Cost(x) = P4500 + (x - 4) * P550
Explanation:
- For the first four days (x <= 4), the cost is constant at P4500 since the extension charges do not apply.
- For the fifth day and onwards (x > 4), there is an additional cost of P550 per day, which is (x - 4) since the first four days are already covered by the initial cost of P4500.
So, depending on the number of days, you can use these formulas to calculate the cost of renting the van.
