1. A Doctor's fee is based on the length of time.

 Up to 6 minutes costs $50

 Over 6 and up to 15 minutes costs $80
 Over 15 minutes costs $80 plus $5 per minute above 15 minutes

2. During a nine hour snowstorm it snows at a rate of 1 inch per hour for the first two hours, at a of rate of 2
inches per hour for the next six hours, and at a rate of 1 inch per hour for the final hour. Represent problem
using a piecewise function.

3. The time t (in minutes) that a person may safely scuba dive without having to decompress while surfacing is
determined by the depth d (in feet) of the dive. Using the information below, write and graph a piecewise
inequality that describes the time limits for scuba divers at various depths.

1. Your cell phone plan costs $75/month and gives you unlimited talk, and 500 text messages per month, and no
data plan. After 500 text messages, it costs $.10 per text you send.
a. Write and graph a piecewise function that represents this situation.

2. Your favorite dog groomer charges according to your dog’s weight. If your dog is 15 pounds and under, the
groomer charges $35. If your dog is between 15 and up to 40 pounds, she charges $40. If your dog is over 40
pounds, she charges $40, plus an additional $2 for each pound.

3. You go to Giant to buy some candy. You decide to buy snickers because they have a special deal on snickers. A
pound of snickers costs $3.45, but if you buy 4 or more pounds, they only cost $3.00per bag. Write a piecewise
function to represent this situation.

1. When a diabetic takes long-acting insulin, the insulin reaches its peak effect on the blood sugar level in about
three hours. This effect remains fairly constant for 5 hours, then declines, and is very low until the next
injection. In a typical patient, the level of insulin might be modeled by the following function. Represent the
problem using piecewise function.

2. 18. For a cellular phone billing plan, $50 per month buys 400 minutes or less. Additional time costs $0.30 per
minute. Let the monthly cost C(x) be a function of the time x.

3. 19. For a cellular phone billing plan, $60 per month buys 450 minutes or less. Additional time costs $0.35 per
minute. Let the monthly cost C(x) be a function of the time x.

4. 20. Income tax is 5% on the first $50,000 of income or less, and 8% on any income in excess of $50,000. Let
the tax T(x) be a function of the income x.

5. 21. In Missouri, income tax is 3.5% on the first $9,000 of income or less, and 6% on any income in excess of
$9,000. Let the tax T(x) be a function of the income x.
