A is the correct answer, NOT c. You don't list elements of the domain each time they occur, you enter each element of the domain only once
see the attached figure with the letters
1) find m(x) in the interval A,BA (0,100) B(50,40) -------------- > p=(y2-y1(/(x2-x1)=(40-100)/(50-0)=-6/5
m=px+b---------- > 100=(-6/5)*0 +b------------- > b=100
mAB=(-6/5)x+100
2) find m(x) in the interval B,CB(50,40) C(100,100) -------------- > p=(y2-y1(/(x2-x1)=(100-40)/(100-50)=6/5
m=px+b---------- > 40=(6/5)*50 +b------------- > b=-20
mBC=(6/5)x-20
3)
find n(x) in the interval A,BA (0,0) B(50,60) -------------- > p=(y2-y1(/(x2-x1)=(60)/(50)=6/5
n=px+b---------- > 0=(6/5)*0 +b------------- > b=0
nAB=(6/5)x
4) find n(x) in the interval B,CB(50,60) C(100,90) -------------- > p=(y2-y1(/(x2-x1)=(90-60)/(100-50)=3/5
n=px+b---------- > 60=(3/5)*50 +b------------- > b=30
nBC=(3/5)x+30
5) find h(x) = n(m(x)) in the interval A,B
mAB=(-6/5)x+100
nAB=(6/5)x
then
n(m(x))=(6/5)*[(-6/5)x+100]=(-36/25)x+120
h(x)=(-36/25)x+120
find <span>h'(x)
</span>h'(x)=-36/25=-1.44
6) find h(x) = n(m(x)) in the interval B,C
mBC=(6/5)x-20
nBC=(3/5)x+30
then
n(m(x))=(3/5)*[(6/5)x-20]+30 =(18/25)x-12+30=(18/25)x+18
h(x)=(18/25)x+18
find h'(x)
h'(x)=18/25=0.72
for the interval (A,B) h'(x)=-1.44
for the interval (B,C) h'(x)= 0.72
<span> h'(x) = 1.44 ------------ > not exist</span>
