I need to solve for 11 variables in this piecewise function
............0.8x.................... if x<0
.............kx^3+Lx^2+mx+n, if 0<=x<=10
.....C(x)=ax^2+bx+c...........if 10<=x<=90
.............px^3+qx^2+rx+s...if 90<=x<=100
.............-1.6x+120............if x>=100
By finding both the first and second derivatives of each i am supposed to match up 11 equations, due to the fact there is 11 unknowns. It says the first and derivatives will give me 8 equations, and the following 3 will come from matching values of functions at 0,10,90. I literally have no idea what im doing but i need to solve for a,b,c,k,l,m,n,p,q,r, and s. Somebody please help me out?
