Question

In a game, players are awarded points based on how quickly they complete a task. The table shows the distribution of points.

Time to complete task Points Awarded
less than 3 minutes 15
3 or more minutes, but less than 7 minutes 10
7 minutes or more 5
A piecewise function is written to represent the number of points a player receives in x minutes.

What are the branches of the piecewise function?

Drag each item to indicate whether it is part of the function or not part of the function.

Answer 1

Part of the function:
- f(x) = 15 for x < 3
- f(x) = 10 for 3 ≤ x < 7
- f(x) = 5 for x ≥ 7

Not part of the function:
- any branch that uses the wrong inequalities (e.g., f(x)=15 for x ≤ 3 or f(x)=10 for 3 < x ≤ 7) or any other point-values not listed above.
