25. You have a summer job that pays time and half for overtime. That means, if you work more than 40
hours in a week, your hourly wage for the extra hours in 1.5 times your normal rate of $7 per hour.
a. Write a piecewise function describing your weekly pay, P in term of the number of hours
worked, h.
