Mike buys $40 dollars of lemonade supplies. He sells the lemonade $2 per cup until he makes his money back. After he makes his money back he sells it for $1 a cup. Write the piecewise function for the two equations in this case with the appropriate "b" values

Jake would have to 20 cups so the 'changing' point would be 20.

y=2x 0<x<20

y=1x+20 20<x

Slope = 2/3

point = (5, 9)

y = 2/3x + 1.5

A²+B²=C²

Solve for B

B = sqrt(C²-A²)
