terms of the distance d in kilometers.
Answer:​

Answer 1

Complete question is;

A tricycle ride costs P10.00 for the first 2 kilometers, and each additional kilometer adds P8.00 to the fare. Use a piecewise function to represent the tricycle fare in terms of the distance d in kilometers.

Answer:

p ≤ P10.00, if d ≤ 2

P10.00 + P8.00(d - 2), if d > 2

Explanation:

We are given that;

The tricycle ride costs P10.00 for the first 2 kilometers.

Also, that each additional kilometer adds P8.00 to the fare.

Thus tricycle fare for maximum of first 2km can be expressed as; p ≤ P10.00, if d ≤ 2

Also, tricycle fare in terms of the distance d in kilometers can be expressed as;

P10.00 + P8.00(d - 2), if d > 2
