1.

8 > 1 so: a(x) = -4x + 7

a(8) = - 4(8) + 7 = - 32 + 7 = - 25

2.

-6 ≤ 1 ≤ 1 so: a(x) = 2x - x²

a(1) = 2(1) - (1)² = 2 - 1 = 1

3.

-7 ≤ -6 so: a(x) = |x - 8|

a(-7) = |-7 - 8| = |-15| = 15

4.

-6 ≤ -3 ≤ 1 so: a(x) = 2x - x²

a(-3) = 2(-3) - (-3)² = -6 - 9 = - 15

5.

-6 ≤ -¹/₂ ≤ 1 so: a(x) = 2x - x²

a(-¹/₂) = 2(-¹/₂) - (-¹/₂)² = - 1 - ¹/₄ = - 1¹/₄

6.

⁹/₄ > 1 so: a(x) = -4x + 7

a(⁹/₄) = - 4(⁹/₄) + 7 = - 9 + 7 = - 2
