Graph the function f ( ) =, + 3, < 0 drawing open and closed circles where appropriate. Eample. A store developed a promotion to attract shoppers. If patrons spend between 0 and $10, then they receive 5% off the price. If patrons spend more than $10, but less than $30, then they receive 10% off. If patrons spend $30 or more, then they receive 0% off. Define a piecewise function g () that represents the discount (in dollars) when dollars are spent.
