Analyzing Cost Changes Over Time

The video tutorial covers the interpretation of piecewise functions in real-world scenarios. It begins with an introduction to piecewise functions, followed by two examples: pricing at Bill's Burgers and ticket costs at Edge Theater. The tutorial explains how to convert mathematical expressions into understandable terms and how to determine the cheapest options using piecewise functions.

What is the main goal of today's lesson on piecewise functions?

• To memorize key terms related to functions

• To interpret piecewise functions in real-world contexts

• To solve algebraic equations

• To calculate and evaluate functions

In the Bill's Burgers example, what is the relationship being analyzed?

• The relationship between customer age and cost

• The relationship between meal size and cost

• The relationship between location and cost

• The relationship between time and cost
