In a certain state the maximum speed permitted on freeways is 65 mi/h, and the minimum is 40 mi/h. The fine F for violating these limits is $10 for every mile above the maximum or below the minimum.

(a) Complete the expressions in the following piecewise defined function, where x is the speed (in mi/h) at which you are driving.
F(x) = 
 
 
 
 
     
if 0 < x < 40
 
 
 
     
if 40 ≤ x ≤ 65
 
 
 
     
if x > 65


(b) Find F(30), F(50), and F(75).
F(30)  =   
F(50)  =   
F(75)  =   


(c) What do your answers in part (b) represent?
The minimum speed one can drive without paying a fine.The maximum speed one can drive without paying a fine.    The awards for obeying the speed limits on the freeway.The fines for violating the speed limits on the freeway.The initial speed at which a fine will be incurred.
