Answer:

(a) X(t)=X(0)+\Delta X*t=5-0.5*t

(b) X(t)=X(0)+\Delta X*t=1+0.5*t

(c) At 4 weeks, when both will be seeing an average of 3 hours of TV.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) For the students, they start at X(0)=5 h and ΔX=-0.5 h/week.

We can write

X(t)=X(0)+\Delta X*t=5-0.5*t

b) For the professors, they start at X(0)=1 h and ΔX=+0.5 h/week.

We can write

X(t)=X(0)+\Delta X*t=1+0.5*t

c) The seew which they will be watching the same amount of hours will be the 4th week.

X(t)=5-0.5*t=1+0.5*t\\\\5-1=(0.5+0.5)*t\\\\t=4\, weeks

The amount of hours will be

x(4)=1+0.5*4=1+2=3\,hours

What is the value of g(0)<br> -2<br> -1<br> 3<br> 6
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An x value of 0 can only be plugged into the equation that has a domain that includes 0. The first function's domain is between -2 and -4, so 0 is not included in that domain. In the third function, the domain is between 1 and 3, so 0 is not included in that domain, either. The middle function's domain does include 0 (0 falls between -2 and 1) so we can only evaluate this function at an x value of 0.

g(0) = -0 - 1 so

g(0) = -1
