Question

how can you use a piecewise functions for nonlinear functions in the real world. List two examples

Answer 1

1. Discounting based on purchase of products: Here, the discounting is not a linear function

A particular shop keeper gives a discount of 0% of products purchased ranging from 0 to 9.

10% for 10-15 products range purchase.

He gives 20% discount if the products purchased are in range of 16-25.

2. Tax system:

Tax that has to be paid will depend on the income slabs.

based on the income range, a particular range will have a particular percentage of tax.

Eg: 10%, 15%, 28%, 30% tax slabs based on the income range.
