Question

The function f(x) is defined as follows:

Answer 1

`f(-3)=-8\\f(2)=4`

Explanation:

In order to find the values of a piecewise function, we first have to determine which piece we are using.

For
`f(-3)`, x=-3. This means that we need to use
`3x+1` as
`-3\leq 0`

`f(-3)=3(-3)+1\\\\f(-3)=-9+1\\\\f(-3)=-8`

For
`f(2)`, x=2. This means that we need to use
`f(x)=4` as x is equal to 2.

`f(x)=4`
