anonymous · Answer

The answers are there, but I don't understand  the steps completely and why they are necessary

anonymous · Answer

Most of this is just using what you know about lines. $$slope=(y _{2}-y _{1})/(x _{2}-x _{1})$$and also point slope form:$$y-y_{1}=m(x-x _{1})$$ to find the equation of the line. Which part specifically are you having trouble with?

anonymous · Answer

Also I would recommend drawing it to help you visualize what the graph should look like.

anonymous · Answer

The more I read over it I understand the constructing of the linear functions but where do the inequalities come from

anonymous · Answer

The inequalities describe when that function is valid. For example the 1 hour break. This is represented in the function with G(t)=14 for 3<t<=4 because it happens between hours 3 and 4.

oooh okay, thank you
