### Piecewise Function Representation

The function \( f(t) \) is defined as follows:

\[
f(t) = 
\begin{cases} 
1, & 0 \leq t < 3 \\
-2, & 3 \leq t < 5 \\
-3, & 5 \leq t < 7 \\
2, & t \geq 7 
\end{cases}
\]

### Graph Explanation

The graph of the piecewise function \( f(t) \) is illustrated on a coordinate plane. 

- The x-axis represents the variable \( t \), ranging from 0 to 10.
- The y-axis represents the function values, \( f(t) \), ranging from -3 to 3.

Key points in the graph:
- From \( t = 0 \) to \( t < 3 \), the function value is 1. This is shown by a horizontal line at \( f(t) = 1 \), ending with a closed circle at \( t = 0 \) and an open circle at \( t = 3 \).
- From \( t = 3 \) to \( t < 5 \), the function value is -2, indicated by a horizontal line at \( f(t) = -2 \), with closed at \( t = 3 \) and open at \( t = 5 \).
- From \( t = 5 \) to \( t < 7 \), the function value is -3, depicted by a horizontal line at \( f(t) = -3 \), closed at \( t = 5 \) and open at \( t = 7 \).
- For \( t \geq 7 \), the function value is 2, represented by a horizontal line at \( f(t) = 2 \), with a closed circle at \( t = 7 \).

### Expression with Unit Step Function

The task is to express \( f(t) \) in terms of the unit step function \( u_c(t) \).

Incorrect Expression:

\[
f(t) = 1 - 3u_3(t-3) - u_5(t) + 5u_7(t)
\]

This expression is marked with an "X" indicating it is incorrect.
