Answer:
f(x) = 3 if x ≤ -2
= 1 if x > -2 ⇒ attached figure
Explanation:
* Lets explain how to answer the question
- For the part of the graph on the left side (2nd quadrant)
- There is a horizontal line start from x = -∞ and stop at x = -2
- The end of the line is black dot means x = -2 belongs to the function
- The horizontal line drawn at y = 3
∴ The equation of the horizontal line is y = 3
∴ The function represents this part of graph is y = 3 if x ≤ -2
- The other part of the graph is also horizontal line start from
x = -2 to x = ∞
- The end of the line is white dot means x = -2 does not belong
to the function
- The horizontal line drawn at y = 1
∴ The equation of the horizontal line is y = 1
∴ The function represents this part of graph is y = 1 if x > -2
* f(x) = 3 if x ≤ -2
= 1 if x > -2
- The answer is attached
