The piece wise function models the cost of x pounds of trout will be 28x + 4, 0 < x < 10 and 22x + 8, x ≥ 10.Option A is correct.

What is a function?

A connection between independent variables and the dependent variable.is defined by the function.

Given data;

Trout costs for each pound are, $28,

Shipping charges,$4

x is the number of orders

Given condition;

Karen orders 10 or more pounds, the trout costs only $22 per pound, but the shipping fee is $8.

Functions help to represent graphs and equations. A function is represented by two variables one is dependent and another one is an independent function.

The total amount is found as;

⇒No of orders × price of trout per pound + shipping charge per order

⇒28x + 4,

For condition 2 the total value is represented as;

⇒No of orders × price of trout per pound + shipping charge per order

⇒ 22x + 8

The piece wise function models the cost of x pounds of trout will be 28x + 4, 0 < x < 10 and  22x + 8, x ≥ 10.

Hence, option A is correct.
