Math Problem Statement
Parking in a local supermarket costs Php 10.00 for each hour or part of an hour. Let C(t) be the function representing the cost of parking for t hours.
(a) Sketch C(t) .
(b) For an arbitrary number t_0 > 0 , evaluate \lim_{t \to t_0^-} C(t) and \lim_{t \to t_0^+} C(t) .
(c) At what values of t does C(t) have a limit?
