Math Problem Statement
Solution
To represent using a combination of Heaviside step functions based on the given graph, we need to break down the function's behavior at each point where it changes.
Step 1: Identify Key Points and Values
- Initial Value: From , the function appears to be at .
- At : jumps to , indicating a step at .
- At : increases to , showing a linear rise from to .
- At : becomes constant at until it drops back to at .
Step 2: Define in Terms of Heaviside Functions
Let represent the Heaviside function, which is when and when .
Using this notation, we can write as follows:
- From to , .
- At , there is a jump to , which can be represented by .
- From to , the function increases linearly, which can be represented by .
- At , it remains at (
