Need Help on Pre Cal

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

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.

1/3 + 1/3 ≠ 2/6 because 1/3 alone = 2/6  

step by step explanation:

1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3       2/3=4/6
