The piecewise function describing the cost C of the reunion are C(x) = 500 + 17.5x, where x <= 40 and  C(x) = 1200 + 14.75(x - 40), where x > 40
Write a piecewise function describing the cost C of the reunion.
The given parameters are:
Reserve = $500
Cost per guest = $17.50 for the first 40 guests
Cost per guest = $14.75 for each additional guest
The above means that
C(x) = 500 + 17.5x, where x <= 40
C(x) = 500 + 17.5 * 40 + 14.75(x - 40), where x > 40
Next, we evaluate the functions
This gives
C(x) = 500 + 17.5x, where x <= 40
C(x) = 1200 + 14.75(x - 40), where x > 40
Use a graphing calculator to graph the function
To do this, we simply plot each function with its domain
See attachment for the graph of the piecewise functions
