Question

A factory manufactures widgets based on customer orders. If a customer's order is for less than w widgets, the customer's cost per widget is d dollars. If a customer's order is for at least w widgets, the customer's cost per widget is decreased by c cents for each widget ordered over w widgets. A customer's total cost is t. Which of the following functions would best model the situation given above? A. piecewise B. exponential C. cube root D. square root

Answer 1

The answer is A. piecewise

Explanation:

Answer 2

piecewise function

Explanation:

A factory manufactures widgets based on customer orders.

If a customer's order is for less than w widgets, the customer's cost per widget is d dollars. customer order < w widgets

If a customer's order is for at least w widgets, the customer's cost per widget is decreased by c cents for each widget ordered over w widgets.

customer order > w widgets

So here we have two different conditions . we can represent two or more functions using piecewise functions

Hence piecewise function would be the best model.
