    An art hall charges either P5 per person for tours of 1 to 9 people, or a fixed P50 fee for groups of 10 or more. A function relating the number of people n to the cost C is defined as C(n)=5n if 1<n<10 and C(n)=50 if n≥10, resulting in a diagonal line from n=0 to n=10 and a constant line thereafter.

    Example: An art hall charges P5 per person for a guided tour with a group of 1

    to 9 people or a fixed P50 fee for a group of 10 or more people. Write a function
    relating the number of people, n, to the cost, C.

    Solution:

    Two different formulas will be needed. For n-values under 10, C=5n. For
    values of n that are 10 or greater, C=50.

    C ( n )=5 n if50if1<n<10
    n ≥10

    The graph is a diagonal line from n=0 to n=10 and a constant after that. In
    this example, the two formulas agree at the meeting point where n=10, but not
    all piecewise functions have this property.
