Response:
Refer to the figure attached.
Step-by-step explanation:
Each portion is treated as a function.
Let x represent the hours worked in a day
The company packs 80 boxes of toys each hour during the first three hours. Thus, y₁ = 80x, for x ∈ [0,3]
After three hours, the total boxes packed = 80 * 3 = 240
They pause packaging for two hours for a training session. Therefore, y₂ = 240, for x ∈ [3,5]
Next, for the subsequent four hours, they pack 20 boxes of toys hourly
y₃ = 20x + c, for x ∈ [5,9]
To determine c, equate y₂ and y₃ at x = 5
∴ 240 = 20 * 5 + c
∴ c = 240 - 20 * 5 = 240 - 100 = 140
∴ y₃ = 20x + 140, for x ∈ [5,9]
Consequently,
y₁ = 80x, for x ∈ [0,3]
y₂ = 240, for x ∈ [3,5]
y₃ = 20x + 140, for x ∈ [5,9]
The graph plotting the piecewise function that depicts the described situation is shown in the attached illustration.
