-1 if x < 0

1. f(x) = 2x if 0 ≤x≤ 3
6 if x > 3



I have to graph each function and identify the domain and range. If anyone could actually explain this to me in simpler terms that would be greatly appreciated!!

The graph for the functions; -1 if x < 0, 1. f(x) = 2x if 0 ≤ x ≤ 3, 6 if x > 3 is attached.

How to graph functions?

These are the graph of the piecewise function f(x) based on the given conditions:

f(x) = -1 if x < 0 (shown in red)

f(x) = 2x if 0 ≤ x ≤ 3 (shown in green)

f(x) = 6 if x > 3 (shown in blue)

The domain of this function is all real numbers since there are no restrictions on x values where the function isn't defined.

The range of this function is -1, all values from 0 to 6 (due to the 2x portion from 0 to 3), and 6. So it would be all real numbers from -1 to 6 inclusive.

There are marked points at (0, f(0)) and (3, f(3)) to indicate the transition between different parts of the piecewise function.
