Q 4. In a certain state the maximum speed permitted on freeways is 75 mi/ h, and
the minimum is 40 mi/h. The fine F for violating these limits is $9.00 for every
mile above the maximum or below the minimum. Complete the expressions in the
following piecewise defined function, where x is the speed at which you are driving.
