Answer:

f(x) = -5 if -5 <= x <= -3

f(x) = -2 if -3 < x <= 2

f(x) = 5 if 2 < x <= 6

Explanation:

This is a simple piece wise function. Notice there are three lines or "solutions" for y-values over a range of x-values. Also notice there are filled in and not filled in circles. If the circle is not filled in, then it is not a solution. If it is, then it is a solution.

So for this, -5 is the solution if the range of x is from -5 through -3 inclusive since it has filled in circles.

-2 is a solution if the range of x is from -3 exclusive through 2 inclusive since at -3 it's open circle and 2 is filled.

5 is a solution if the range of x is from 2 exclusive through 6 inclusive since 2 it's open circle and 6 is filled.

To right that in notation simply

f(x) = -5 if -5 <= x <= -3

f(x) = -2 if -3 < x <= 2

f(x) = 5 if 2 < x <= 6

Cheers.
