  3. Car “lingo” • Look at the classified ads in front of you • How many abbreviations do you understand? • Write down the different abbreviations you see and what you think that mean.

  4. Car “lingo” Here are some of the words you may have seen • Mint or immaculate describe a car in excellent condition • A car with many options is said to be loaded In terms of the price of the car • Negotiable meaning the seller is willing to bargain with you • Firmmeans that they are unwilling to change the price • Sacrifice means that the seller has to sell the car quickly and the price is lower than its worth

  5. Car Abbreviations

  6. Sales Tax • In some states, when buying a used car you must pay a sales tax on the purchase amount! • California has a 6.25% sales tax

  7. Example 1 • Kerry purchased a used car for $7,400 and had to pay 8½% sales tax. How much tax did she pay?

  8. Check your understanding • The sales tax rate in Mary Ann’s state is 4%. If she purchases a car for x dollars, express the total cost of the car with sales tax algebraically.

  9. Example 2 • The cost of a classified ad is determined by its length. John plans to sell his car and places a 5-line ad. The newspaper charges $31 for the first two lines and $6 per extra line to run the ad for one week. What will John’s ad cost to run for two weeks?

  10. Check your understanding • Ramon plans to sell his car and places an ad with x lines. The newspaper charges y dollars for the first g lines and p dollars per extra line to run the ad for a week. If x > g, express the cost of running the ad for a week.

  11. Math terms • Remember that the domain is the set of values you can input into a function • We will be looking at piecewise functions or splitfunctions • Functions that gives a set of rules for each domain of the function

  12. Example 3 • Jason works for the Glen Oaks News and is writing a program to compute ad costs. He needs to enter an algebraic representation of the costs of an ad. His company charges $42.50 for up to five lines for a classified ad. Each additional line costs $7. Express the cost of an ad with x lines as a function of x algebraically.

  13. Check your understanding • The Smithtown News charges $38 for a classified ad that is 4 or fewer lines long. Each line above four lines costs an additional $6.25. Express the cost of an ad as a piecewise function.

  14. Example 4 • Roxanne set up the following piecewise function which represents the cost of an auto classified from her hometown newspaper. • If x is the number of lines in the ad, use words to express the price c(x) of a classified ad from this paper.

  15. Example 5 • Graph the piecewise function Roxanne created in Example 4. • A cusp is where the two lines meet
