A bakery has the following pricing for large orders of cupcakes. The first 100 cupcakes of any order cost $2.00 each. If they order between 100 and 250 cupcakes, they only cost $1.75 each. If you order
more than 250, the cupcakes only cost $1.25 each.

a. Write a piecewise function for the cost of the cupcakes.

b. What would the cost of the cupcakes be if we needed to order 175 cupcakes?

no this is a nonlinear negative

first one because it can't have a fraction in it

step-by-step explanation:

x coordinate can be written by using the formula, x= x1 + 2/5(x2 - x1)

step-by-step explanation:

formula

x = x1 + p/w(x2 - x1)

let the line segment ab with a(x1,y1) and b(x2,y2)

a point(x,y) divide ab in the ratio, 2: 3 the x coordinate can be written as

x = x1 + p/w(x2 - x1)

here p=2 and w = 2+3

therefore,

x coordinate can be written by using the formula, x= x1 + 2/5(x2 - x1)

similarly y coordinate y = y1 + 2/5(y2 - y1)
