Question 289867: Hi, I hope someone can help me. My problem is:
Niagara Electric charges a flat fee of $8.50 for the first 1000 kilowatt hours used, $0.05 per kilowatt hour for the next 4000 kilowatt hours, and $.04 per kilowatt hour for each hour used thereafter. What is the expression for the cost function, C(x), using standard notation?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Niagara Electric charges a flat fee of $8.50 for the first 1000 kilowatt hours used, $0.05 per kilowatt hour for the next 4000 kilowatt hours, and $.04 per kilowatt hour for each hour used thereafter. What is the expression for the cost function, C(x), using standard notation?
:
I think you need two expression
x =< 5000 kwh
C(x) = .05(x-1000) + 8.50
and
x > 5000 kwh,(add 1 cent per kwh for 4000 kwh)
C(x) = .04(x-1000) + 40.00 + 8.50
C(x) = .04(x-1000) + 48.50
