Help meeeee4) Consider the equation z(x)=(x-5,x s101-x+8, x > 10Note that for this problem, you do not actually have to evaluate the results. Just make sure that youexplain your choices.a. If you are trying to evaluate Z(3), which equation would you choose, and why?b. If you are trying to evaluate Z(11), which equation would you choose, and why?c. If you are trying to evaluate Z(10), which equation would you choose, and why?

4). a. If you are trying to evaluate Z(3) in order to know which equation would you choose we would have to make the following calcuations:

So, if Z(3), then:

substitute the x with the number 3


z\left(3\right)=3-5=-2,3\leq10,\text{ 1-3=-2, 3}>10

Therefore, the equation to choose if Z(3) would be x>10, because by substitute the x with the number 3 would be the largest function with a positive number and sign.
