The image contains two problems that require writing piecewise functions.

**Problem 1:**
You need to write a piecewise function for tax payments based on income in 2013.

- If you earned up to Php 113,700, your tax rate was 6.2% of your income.
- If you earned more than Php 113,700, you pay a fixed amount of Php 7,049.40.

### Solution for Problem 1:
Let \( T(x) \) represent the tax payment where \( x \) is the income. The piecewise function can be written as:

\[
T(x) =
\begin{cases}
0.062x, & \text{if } x \leq 113,700 \\
7,049.40, & \text{if } x > 113,700
\end{cases}
\]

**Problem 2:**
A car rental company charges a flat fee of Php 2,200 to rent a car. Additionally, you must pay a fee per kilometer driven.

Would you like to proceed with the second part and explain that further or any other details? Let me know!

**Relative Questions:**
1. How is piecewise function used in taxation?
2. What are the limitations of piecewise functions?
3. Can piecewise functions represent continuous and discontinuous scenarios?
4. How does the constant tax for higher income levels impact revenue?
5. How can you create a piecewise function for progressive tax?

**Tip:** Piecewise functions are excellent for modeling real-world situations that have different rules based on the input, such as tax brackets or pricing models.

Write a piecewise function for each of the problems below:
1. If you earned up to Php 113,700 in 2013 from an employer, your tax rate was 6.2% of your income. If you earned over Php 113,700, you pay a fixed amount of Php 7,049.40.
2. A car rental company charges a flat fee of Php 2200 to rent a car. In addition to that, you must pay a fee per kilometer driven.
