for the columns where is less than or equal zero, use the first line of the function to calculate the value of f(x)

for every x greater than zero, use the second line to determine the value

hope this helps and gives some insight what to do.
if there are open questions left, feel free to ask them in the comments
have a beautiful day

Answer: i think 2 feet, not really sure tho ':)

Answer:
C. define all variables
Step-by-step explanation:
Equations for word problems will depend on the problem. Not all of the equations will be linear equations. Even if they are, they are not necessarily easily written in any particular form, or easily solved when they are written in that form. The nature of the equations will depend on the problem.
One thing that must be done in any case is <em>define all variables</em>. It is usually a good idea to define the units of the variable(s) as well. Sometimes problems are posed with numbers in incompatible dimensions, or they may ask for an answer in dimensions different from those used in the given information. In order to avoid confusion and to be sure you have the desired answer, you need to make sure the variables and their dimensions are compatible with the solution process.
