Answer:
h(-2) = 7
h(0) = -1
h(5) = 2
Explanation:
This is just a matter of plugging in numbers for x when they apply.
For h(-2), the first equation, or -1/2x - 1 can't apply, because the symbol doesn't apply. It does apply to the second one, which is (x - 1)^2 - 2, as it says x is greater than or equal to. Now we just have to plug it in.
(-2 - 1)^2 - 2 = 7
So h(-2) = 7
For h(0), it works for the same equation.
(0 - 1)^2 - 2
(-1)^2 - 2
1 - 2 = -1
h(0) = -1
For h(5), it applies to the last equation.
y = 2
So h(5) = 2
