The charge for parking in a parking lot is based on the piecewise function where x is the time in hours and y is the cost in dollars. What is the charge for parking for 3.75 hours? (1 point) Responses $10 $10 $12 $12 $13 $13 $15

Answer 1

To determine the charge for parking for 3.75 hours using a piecewise function, we first need to understand the specific piecewise function used for the calculations. However, since you didn't provide the specific piecewise function, I can suggest how to approach this problem.

1. Identify which interval the time (3.75 hours) falls into within the piecewise function.
2. Use the formula corresponding to that interval to calculate the cost.

If we assume a common piecewise function for parking fees, it might look something like this:

• For 0 ≤ x ≤ 1: y = $5
• For 1 < x ≤ 2: y = $8
• For 2 < x ≤ 3: y = $10
• For 3 < x ≤ 4: y = $12
• For 4 < x: y = $15

Given 3.75 hours falls into the interval 3 < x ≤ 4, we would use the formula y = $12.

Therefore, the charge for parking for 3.75 hours would be $12, if that piecewise function is used.

Please check the specific piecewise function you have for exact calculations. Based on the alternatives you've given, the correct response would likely be $12.
