Volume discount. Assume that the volume discounts in Table apply to the entire purchase. That is, if the volume x satisfies $300 ≤ x < $1,000, then the entire purchase is discounted 3%. If the volume x satisfies $1,000 ≤ x < $3,000, the entire purchase is discounted 5%, and so on.
(A) If x is the volume of a purchase before the discount is applied, then write a piecewise definition for the discounted price D(x) of this purchase.
(B) Use one-sided limits to investigate the limit of D(x) as x approaches $1,000. As x approaches $3,000.
Table Volume Discount (excluding tax)
Volume ($x) | Discount Amount |
$300 ≤ x < $1,000 | 3% |
$1,000 ≤ x < $3,000 | 5% |
$3,000 ≤ x < $5,000 | 7% |
$5,000 ≤ x | 10% |
