Robert's father is 5 years older than 3 times Robert's age. Let Robert's age be denoted by R and let Robert's father's age be de
noted by F. Write an equation that relates Robert's age and his father's age. How do I write an equation to fit this, can someone tell me the steps on how to do it?
A, B, C, and D, are all functions. the " { " is saying that those functions can are different at different points. For A the function is when and then when . At the point you can see that the function on the graph is going in two different directions but it stops at .
Based on the graph you can see that the line on the left has a slope of -1 and if it kept going it would cross the y-axis at , therefore the equation for the first line is when
The second line on the right side has a slope of 1 and crosses the y-axis at so the equation for that line is when .
The only answer that matches these requirements is A
