The charge consists of:
1. A flat rate of Php 20.00 for any distance,
2. An additional Php 8.00 per kilometer.
The piecewise function for the total fare ( f(d) can be written as:
[tex] f(d) =
\begin{cases}
20 & \text {if } d = 0 \\
20 + 8d & \text {if } d > 0
\end{cases} [/tex]
Here's the concise representation:
[tex]- \text{\( d = 0 \): The fare is just the flat rate, \( \text{Php } 20.00 \).}[/tex]
[tex]- \text{( d > 0 \): The fare includes the flat rate plus Php 8.00 for each kilometer traveled.}[/tex]
This captures both the initial charge and the distance-dependent fare.
