Question

I need some help please

Answer 1

A. 2

Explanation:

Let's interpret the function.

First, let's look at the top section:

`f(x)=x+2` if
`x < 1`

So, if the value of x is less than 1, to find f(x), we should add 2 to x.

Let's check if x is less than 1:

`x=3\\x < 1\\3 < 1`

3 is not less than one, so to find f(x), we cannot add 2 to x.

The second part of the function is:

`f(x)=x-1` if
`x\geq 1`

So, if the value of x is greater than or equal to 1, to find f(x), we should subtract 1 from x.

Let's check if x is greater than or equal to 1:

`x=3\\x\geq 1=\\3\geq 1`

3 is greater than or equal to 1, so to find f(x), we should use x-1.

`x-1=\\3-1=\\2`

Thus, f(3) = 2; the answer is A.
