YOU TRY
You have a summer job that pays time and a half for overtime. (If you work more than 40 hours) After that it is 1.5 times your hourly rate of $7.00/hr.
1. Write and graph a piecewise function that gives your weekly pay P in terms of the number hours you work h. 2. How much will you make if you work 45 hours?
From 0 to 40 hours you get $7.00/hr: 7h over 40 you get: 7(40) + (1.5)(7)(h-40) = 7(40) + 10.5(h-40)= 280 + 10.5h 420 = 10.5h - 140 The function is: if 0 h 40 7h, P ( h) = 10.5h 140, if h > 40
2. P(h) = 10.5h - 140 P(45) = 10.5(45) - 140 = $332.50 for 45 hours of work
Example
1. Write and graph a piecewise function for the parking charges shown on the sign. 2. What are the domain and range of the function?
