A taxi company charges $1.00 for the first mile (or part of a mile) and 20 cents for each succeeding tenth of a mile (or part). Express the cost C (in dollars) of a ride as a piecewise defined function of the distance x traveled (in miles) for 0 < x ≤ 2 and sketch a graph of this function.

Step-by-step explanation:

solving functions separately.

1st:  from given data taxi charges $1.00 for the first mile.so it is first rule of function.

2nd: the company charge $0.20 per tenth of a mile.so 2nd rule of the function will  be

simplifying

,  

piece wise function is f(x)={2 ,  0<x<1

                                              {x ,  1<x<2

the graph of the function is given below

i don't have the answer rn but go to math papa. it shows the steps and the answer. hope this : )

step-by-step explanation:

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
