Piecewise Functions

By: Masicat, Jerome; Lee, Dylan

Parking Fee:
A parking lot opens from 8am to 5pm. The lot charges $8 for the
first 2 hours of parking, $6 for the next 3 hours, and $4 for the last
4 hours. Model the cost as a function of parking time.
C(t)={ 8, 0 < t 2
14, 2 < t 5
18, 5 < t 9}

Bowling:
A bowling alley is promoting deal where the first hour of bowling
is $15 (shoes included). Every ten minutes after that hour, $3 are
added to the final bill. Model the cost as a function of time.
C(t)={15, 0<t 1
15+3(t-1), t>1}

Diver:
A diver takes 2.75 seconds to run to the end of a diving board. He
then takes 0.25 seconds to jump to a height of 1 foot above the
board. If the board is 10 feet above the pool, model the height as a
function of time.
