Problem 2
Your favorite dog groomer charges according to your dog’s weight. If your dog is 15 pounds and under, the groomer charges $35. If your dog is between 15 and 40 pounds, she charges $40. If your dog is over 40 pounds, she charges $40, plus an additional $2 for each pound.
Write a piecewise function that describes what your dog groomer charges.
Graph the function.
