Question 1164468: taxi fare depends on the distance covered during the trip a flagdown fare of 40 for the first 5kms increases by 8 per kilometer thereafter represent the amount a paid by a customer if the taxi covered x kilometer in a trip

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the fare is 40 for the first 5 kilometers.
after the first 5 kilometers, the fare is an additional 8 per kilometer.

this is a piecemeal type function.

y = 40 for 0 <= x <= 5.
y = 40 + 8 * (x-5) for x > 5.

if you traveled 15 kilometers, then the cost would be:
40 + 8 * 10 = 120
