    Here is a piecewise function that models the tax structure described: (a) f(x) = {0.15x for 0 ≤ x < P 0.2(x-P) for P ≤ x < Q 0.25(x-Q) for x ≥ Q} Where P is the taxable income threshold for the 15% tax bracket and Q is the taxable income threshold for the 20% tax bracket. (b) Taxable Income (x) | Tax Amount (f(x)) 0 | 0 P-1 | 0.15(P-1) P | 0.15P Q-1 | 0.15

    Example #1

    Water can exist in three states: solid


    ice, liquid water, and gaseous water
    vapor. It takes a certain amount of heat
    before water can change state. Use the
    following information to sketch the
    graph of the function representing the
    temperature of water as a function of
    the amount of total heat added in Joules
    (J). Explain why this is a piecewise
    Labas Senior High School Stand Alone: General Mathematics (Piecewise Function)
    funtion.
     A solid block of ice is at -250 C and heat is
    added until it completely turns into water
    vapor.
     The temperature of ice increases steadily and
    reaches 00 after 940 J of heat is applied.
     The temperature stays constant at 00 C until
    all the ice melts, which happens once a total
    of 6,950 J of heat is applied.
     The temperature increases steadily and
    reaches 1000C after a total of 14,470 J is
    applied.
     The temperature stays constant at 1000C
    until all the water evaporates, which happens
    after a total of 55,260 J is applied.
     When all the water is in a geseous state, its
    temperature can rise above 1000C (This is
    why steam can cause third-degree burns!)

    Solution:

    When all the water


    is in a geseous
    state, its
    The temperature temperature can
    increases steadily and rise above 1000C
    reaches 1000C after a total (This is why steam
    of 14,470 J is applied. can cause third-
    degree burns!)

    A solid block of
    ice is at -250 C
    The temperature stays constant at
    The temperature of ice 00 C until all the ice melts, which
    increases steadily and reaches happens once a total of 6,950 J of

    Exercise #1
    A videoke machine can be
    rented for ₱1,000 for three days,
    but for the fourth day onwards,
    an additional cost of ₱400 per
    day is added. Respresent the
    cost of renting a videoke
    machine as piecewise function
    of the number of days it is
    rented and plot its graph.
    Answer:
    Exercise #2
    The fee for hiring a guide to
    explore a cave is ₱700. A guide
    can only take care of a
    maximum of 4 persons, and
    additional guides can be hired
    as needed. Represent the cost
    of hiring guides as a function of
    the number of tourists who wish
    to explore the cave and plot its
    graph.
    Answer:
    Exercise #3
    The cost of hiring a catering
    service to serve food for a party
    is ₱150 per head for 20 persons
    or less, ₱130 per head for 21 to
    50 persons, and ₱110 per head
    for 51 to 100 persons. For 100
    or more persons, the cost is at
    ₱100 per head. Represent the
    total cost a s piecewise function
    of the number of attendees of
    the party.
    Answer:
    Assignment:

    Based on the existing tax


    structure, define a piecewise
    function that models this situation
    by giving (a) the function's
    equation, (b) a table showing
    some functions values, and (c) a
    graph.
