Im confused can somebody help me please
1 answer:
well, we know the piece-wise function is
hmmm so what's f(-1), namely what is f(x) when x = -1?
well, when x = -1, hmm -1 is less than 0, so the subfunction that applies to that will be when "x" is less than 0, namely the part of 7x + 10, so we can say
f(-1) = 7(-1) + 10
f(-1) = 3
so hmm what's f(0) or namely, what's f(x) when x = 0?
well, what subfunction applies when x = 0? well, it has to be the subfunction with "x greater or <u>equals</u> to 0", x ⩾ 0, so then is 7x + 20
f(0) = 7(0) + 20
f(0) = 20.

Answer:
Correct choice is B
Step-by-step explanation:
All three functions are increasing when x is increasing. You can find values of each function when x is "enough large". For example, at x=100,
1. linear function:
2. exponential function:
3. quadratic function:
As you can see, when x approaches positive infinity, the exponential function will exceed both the linear and the quadratic functions.
Also you can use graphical method to get from the attached diagrams result. When x approaches positive infinity, the exponential function will exceed both the linear and the quadratic functions.
Correct choice is B.
