Unit 1 Test 3 SAMPLE TEST– Piecewise Functions
I. Evaluating Piecewise Functions
a. Determine, using the function notation, what domain applies to the question
b. Then use the matching equation to calculate the value of the function.
Evaluate the following piecewise functions, according to the function notation question provided. Write
the answers in simplest form.

a. In January, Ashley sold $22,000 worth of furniture. What was her pay for January?
b. In March, BJ sold $30,000 worth of furniture. What was his pay for March?
c. In June, Claire sold $9,000 worth of furniture. What was her pay for June?
d. What is the significance of the number 3,000 that appears in each of the domains of the Pay
piecewise function?
12. A rental car company charges $175 per day plus $0.50 for each mile as long as the car is driven
100 miles or less. If a car is driven for more than 100
miles, the cost per mile is reduced to $0.25 per mile.
a. Write a piecewise function that represents the
amount that any person renting a sedan for a
single day will be charged, depending on how
many miles they drive it. Make sure you use the
correct format for a piecewise function, but you
may choose your own variables.
14. Write this function as a piecewise function and then graph it on the grid provided:
f(x) =
f(x) =
