the graph looks: A 2-dimensional graph with ages in years from 0-9 on the x-axis and dosage in teaspoon from 0-3 on the y-axis is given. Dosage for ages between 0-1 is 0.25, between 1-2 is 0.5, between 2-3 is 1.5, between 3-5 is 2, and between 5-8 is 3 respectively.
PART C
Write the function shown in the graph as a piecewise-defined function f.

f(x) =

0.25 if 0 < x < 1
0.5 if 1 < x < 2
1.5 if 2 < x < 3
2 if 3 < x < 5
3 if 5 < x < 8
