A cell phone company uses the function below to determine the cost, C, C , in dollars for g g gigabytes of data transfer.

C(g)={ 25 if 0<g<2 25+10(g−2) if g≥2 C \left(g\right) = \left\{\right. \begin{matrix}25 & \text{if} & 0 < g < 2 \\ 25 + 10 \left(g - 2\right) & \text{if} & g \geq 2\end{matrix}
