Answer:


f(0)=5

Explanation:

In this problem we are given the piecewise function:


f(x)=\begin{cases}(4)/(3)x \text{ for } -\!6\le x < 0 \\ x + 5 \text{ for } 0\le x\le 4\end{cases}

and are asked to calculate
f(0).

First, we can identify which piece will determine the output for
f(0). We can see that it will be the piece:


x + 5 \text{ for } 0\le x \le 4

because
0 is within its domain (possible inputs, or x-values).

Notice that the other piece's domain is less than 0, but does not include 0.

Next, we can plug
0 in for
x within that piece's definition to solve for
f(0):


f(0) = 0 + 5


\boxed{f(0)=5}
