-17 is the answer you are looking for.
Mom drove for 11 hours.
Dad drove for 3 hours.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
- Total distance = 895 miles
- Mom drove a speed of 65 mph
- Dad drove a speed of 60 mph
Let 'x' be the number of hours drove by mom.
Let 'y' be the number of hours drove by dad.
x + y = 14 ---------------(1)
65x + 60y = 895 ---------(2)
Multiply eq(1) by 60 and subtract eq(2) from (1),
60x + 60y = 840
-(<u>65x + 60y = 895</u>)
<u> -5x = -55 </u>
x = 55/5
x = 11
∴ Mom drove for 11 hours.
Substitute x=11 in eq(1)
11+y = 14
y = 3
∴ Dad drove for 3 hours.

Answer: 17</h3>
======================================================
Explanation:
This is a piecewise function. It's composed of 3 pieces of other functions. A piecewise function is a function that changes its identity based on what the input is.
We have three different situations here
- If t = 17, then h(t) = sqrt(17t) based on what the first row says
- If t = 19, then h(t) = -34/t which is the second row of the piecewise function.
- If t does not equal either 17 or 19 (ie t is anything but those values), then h(t) = 23-t
The notation h(17) means we want to evaluate h(t) when t = 17. So we'll use the first case mentioned above. Plug t = 17 into h(t) = sqrt(17t) to get...
h(t) = sqrt(17t)
h(17) = sqrt(17*17)
h(17) = sqrt(17^2)
h(17) = 17
In the last step, I used the rule that sqrt(x^2) = x when x is nonnegative.
