Represent the following waveforms by using the ramp r(t) and unit step u(t) functions.

### Waveform Analysis and Expression

#### Graph Descriptions

1. **Graph (a): "Vee"**
   - **Description**: This graph shows a V-shaped waveform, starting from the origin (0, 0). From \(t = 0\) to \(t = 4\) seconds, the graph is a downward linear slope reaching \(-4\) on the \(x_1(t)\) axis at \(t = 4\) seconds. Then, it mirrors upwards to reach back to 0 at \(t = 6\) seconds.
   
2. **Graph (b): Mesa**
   - **Description**: This waveform is a "mesa" or flat-topped shape. It increases linearly from the origin, reaching \(x_2(t) = 4\) at \(t = 2\) seconds. It then remains constant until \(t = 4\) seconds. After that, it decreases linearly back to 0 at \(t = 6\) seconds.
   
3. **Graph (c): Sawtooth**
   - **Description**: This waveform is a sawtooth shape, rising steeply from the origin to \(x_3(t) = 4\) at \(t = 2\) seconds, quickly dropping to 0 by \(t = 3\) seconds, decreasing further to \(-4\) at \(t = 4\) seconds, and finally rising back to 0 at \(t = 6\) seconds.

#### Expressions and Input Section

- **(a) Provide the expression for waveform (a):**
  - Input field: \(x_1(t) = \_\_\_\_\_\)
  - **Submit Answer**: Tries 0/5

- **(b) Provide the expression for waveform (b):**
  - Input field: \(x_2(t) = \_\_\_\_\_\)
  - **Submit Answer**: Incorrect. Tries 1/3
  - [Previous Tries]

- **(c) Provide the expression for waveform (c):**
  - Input field: \(x_3(t) = \_\_\_\_\_\)
  - **Submit Answer**: Tries 0/3

Use the input fields to enter the mathematical expressions for the waveforms based on their graphical representation. The answer attempts are limited,
