Answer:


g(5) = (2)/(3)

Explanation:

Piecewise function:

A piecewise function has a different rule depending on the input.

In this exercise:

If the input x is equal or less than two, the rule is
|7 - x^2|, and if it is greater than 2, the rule is:


(x+1)/(2x-1)

g(5)

The input is
x = 5 > 2, so the rule is:


g(x) = (x + 1)/(2x - 1)

At
x = 5


g(5) = (5 + 1)/(2(5) - 1) = (6)/(9) = (2)/(3)

The answer is
g(5) = (2)/(3)
