Answer:

  f(x) = {x-3 for x ≤ -1; -3x+14 for x > 5}

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the piecewise function, we can consider the pieces one at a time. For each, we need to define the domain, and the functional relation.

__

<h3>Left Piece</h3>

The domain is the horizontal extent. It is shown as -∞ to -1, with -1 included.

The relation has a slope (rise/run) of +1, and would intersect the y-axis at -3 if it were extended.

The first piece can be written ...

  f(x) = x-3 for x ≤ -1

__

<h3>Right Piece</h3>

The domain is shown as 5 to ∞, with 5<em> not included</em>.

The relation is shown as having a slope (rise/run) of (-3)/(1) = -3. If extended, it would intersect the point (5, -1), so we can write the point-slope equation as ...

  y -(-1) = -3(x -5)

  y = -3x +15 -1 = -3x +14

The second piece can be written ...

  f(x) = -3x +14 for x > 5

__

<h3>Whole function</h3>

Putting these pieces together, we have ...

  \boxed{f(x)=\begin{cases}x-3&\text{for }x\le-1\\-3x+14&\text{for }5 < x\end{cases}}

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Sometimes it is convenient to write inequalities in number-line order (using < or ≤ symbols). This gives a visual indication of where the variable stands in relation to the limit(s). Perhaps a more conventional way to write the domain for the second piece is, <em>x > 5</em>.

What is the following quotient?
almond37 [142]

Answer:

B)  \sqrt{30}  - 3 \sqrt{2}  +  \sqrt{55}  -  \sqrt{33}  \div 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: First we have to get rid off the roots in the denominator.

To do that, we have to multiply the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of √5 + √3.

The conjugate of √5 + √3 is √5 - √3.

Now multiply given expression with √5 - √3

(√6 + √11)     (√5 - √3)

------------- x   -----------

(√5 + √3)        (√5 - √3)

Step 2: Multiply the numerators and the denominators.

√6√5 - √6√3 +√11√5 -√11√3

------------------------------------------

(√5)^2 - (√3)^2

Now let's simplify to get the answer.

√30-√18 +√55 - √33

-----------------------------

5 - 3

= √30 -3√2 +√55                                     [√18 = √9√2 = 3√2]

--------------------------

2      

The answer is  \sqrt{30}  - 3 \sqrt{2}  +  \sqrt{55}  -  \sqrt{33}  \div 2


Thank you.

If you were constructing a TRIANGULAR FRAME, and you had wood in the length of 4inches, 4 inches, and 7 inches, would it make a
klemol [59]

Answer:

  Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to make a triangle with non-zero area, the sum of the shorter two sides must be greater than the longest side.

Here, 4 + 4 > 7, so the lengths can form a triangle.

What is the answer?​
zepelin [54]

Answer:

<em>x = 110° ; y = 49°</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠ABD = m∠ADB = 35° ⇒ <em>x</em> = 180° - 2 × 35° = <em>110°</em>  

m∠CDB = m∠CBD = 2y ⇒ <em>y</em> = (180° - 82°) ÷ 2 = <em>49°</em>
