Question

A piecewise function is shown here:

f(x) = {-3x +5 if x <2
{1/2x - 4 if 2 < or = to x < or = to 8
{2 if x > 8

Use the piecewise function to find each value given below.

f(0) =
f(-4) =
f(6) =
f(9)=
f(2) =

Answer 1

f(0) = -3(0) + 5 = 5

f(-4) = -3(-4) + 5 = 17

f(6) = ½(6) - 4 = -1

f(9) = 2

f(2) = ½(2) - 4 = -3

Using the restraints, find which equation the f(x) function validates and plug it in.
