Your numbers are 11 and 32

We know that:
a + b = 44
and
a = 3b

If we substitute “3b” in for a in the first equation, we get a numerical value for b

3b + b = 44
4b = 44
b = 11

Then we substitute the numerical value of b to solve for a:
a = 3b
a = 3(11) = 33

This is a piece-wise function. The three intervals we need to worry about are [0, 1), [1,2], and [2,4].

Separate the functions into their pieces and draw out the individual graphs. Place them together onto the graph within their respective intervals.
