Question

Complete the description of the piecewise function graphed below.

-4 if x < -2
-1 if -2 ≤ x < 1
-3 if x ≥ 1
A) f(x) = -4 for x < -2, f(x) = -1 for -2 ≤ x < 1, f(x) = -3 for x ≥ 1
B) f(x) = -4 for x < -2, f(x) = -1 for x < 1, f(x) = -3 for x ≥ 1
C) f(x) = -4 for x < -2, f(x) = -1 for -2 ≤ x < 1, f(x) = -3 for x < 1
D) f(x) = -4 for x < -2, f(x) = -1 for -2 ≤ x < 1, f(x) = -3 for x < 1

Answer 1

The correct description of the piecewise function graphed below is f(x) = -4 for x < -2, f(x) = -1 for -2 ≤ x < 1, f(x) = -3 for x ≥ 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct description of the piecewise function graphed below is:

f(x) = -4 for x < -2,

f(x) = -1 for -2 ≤ x < 1,

f(x) = -3 for x ≥ 1.

This means that for x values less than -2, the function has a value of -4. For x values between -2 and 1, the function has a value of -1. And for x values greater than or equal to 1, the function has a value of -3.
