Shipping company IPS has shipping rates that are a function of the weight of the parcel. For packages weighing less than or equal to 5 pounds, they charge $1.25 per pound. For packages weighing between 5 and 18 pounds, they charge $2.25 per pound. If packages weigh 18 pounds or more, they charge $3.25 per pound. IPS refuses to ship any parcel weighing more than 68 pounds. There is also a flat fee of $3 for all deliveries and an additional fee of $5 for all deliveries weighing 18 pounds or more.
Complete the following description of a piecewise function so that it describes the shipping costs C(x)C(x) in dollars as a function of the weight xx in pounds.
C(x) =
{ ??? if x is in the interval (0, 5]
{ ??? if x is in the interval (5, 18)
{ ??? if x is in the interval [18, 68]
