Answer:

The definition for the given piecewise-defined function is:   \boxed{\displaystyle\sf\ Option\:D:\:\: f(x) = \begin{cases}\displaystyle\sf\ x + 2 & \sf\:{if\:\:x \leq -1} \\\displaystyle\sf\ 2x + 4 & \sf\:{if\:\:x > -1}\end{cases}}.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>General Concepts:</h3>
  • Piecewise-defined functions.
  • Interval notations.

<h3>What is a piecewise-defined function?</h3>

A piecewise-defined function represents specific rules over different intervals of the domain.  

<h3>Symbols used in expressing interval notations:</h3>

Open interval: This means that the endpoint is <em>not</em> included in the interval.

We can use the following symbols to indicate the <u>exclusion</u> of endpoints in the interval:

  • Left or right parenthesis, "(  )" (or both).
  • Greater than (>) or less than (<) symbols.
  • Open dot "\circ" is another way of expressing the exclusion of an endpoint in the graph of a piecewise-defined function.

Closed interval: This implies the inclusion of endpoints in the interval.

We can use the following symbols to indicate the <u>inclusion</u> of endpoints in the interval:

  • Open- or closed brackets (or both), "[  ]."
  • Greater than or equal to (≥) or less than or equal to (≤) symbols.
  • Closed circle or dot, "•" is another way of expressing the <em>inclusion</em> of the endpoint in the graph of a piecewise-defined function.  

<h2>Determine the appropriate function rule that defines different parts of the domain.  </h2>

The best way to determine which piecewise-defined function represents the graph is by observing the <u>endpoints</u> and <u>orientation</u> of both partial lines.

  • Open circle on (-1, 2):  The graph shows that one of the partial lines has an <em>excluded</em> endpoint of (-1, 2) extending towards the <u>right</u>. This implies that its domain values are defined when x > -1.
  • Closed circle on (-1, 1): The graph shows that one of the partial lines has an <em>included</em> endpoint of (-1, 1) extended towards the <u>left</u>. Hence,  its domain values are defined when x ≤ -1.

Based on our observations from the previous step, we can infer that x > -1 or x ≤ -1 apply to piecewise-defined functions A or D. However, only one of those two options represent the graph.

<h2>Solution:</h2><h3>a) Test option A:</h3>

    \boxed{\displaystyle\sf Option\:A)\:\:\:f(x) = \begin{cases}\displaystyle\sf\ 2x + 2 & \sf\:{if\:\:x \leq -1} \\\displaystyle\sf\ x + 4 & \sf\:{if\:\:x > -1}\end{cases}}

<h3>Piece 1: If x ≤ -1, then it is defined by f(x) = 2x + 2. </h3>

We must choose a domain value that falls within the interval of x ≤ -1 whose output is included is included in the graph of the partial line with a <u>closed dot</u>.

Substitute x = -2 into f(x) = 2x + 2:  

  • f(x) = 2x + 2
  • f(-2) = 2(-2) + 2
  • f(-2) = -4 + 2
  • f(-2) = -2  ⇒  <em>False statement</em>.

⇒ The output value of f(-2) = -2 is <u>not</u> included in the graph of the partial line whose endpoint is at (-1, 1).

<h3>Piece 2: If x > -1, then it is defined by f(x) = x + 4. </h3>

We must choose a domain value that falls within the interval of x > -1 whose output is included in the graph of the partial line with an <u>open dot</u>.

Substitute x = 0 into  f(x) = x + 4:

  • f(x) = x + 4
  • f(0) = (0) + 4
  • f(0) = 4  ⇒  <em>True statement</em>.

⇒ The output value of f(0) = 4 <u>is</u> included in the graph of the partial line whose endpoint is at (-1, 2).

Conclusion for Option A:

Option A is not the correct piecewise-defined function because one of the pieces, f(x) = 2x + 2, does not specify the interval (-∞, -1].

<h3>b) Test option D:</h3>

    \boxed{\displaystyle\sf Option\:D)\:\:\:f(x) = \begin{cases}\displaystyle\sf\ x + 2 & \sf\:{if\:\:x \leq -1} \\\displaystyle\sf\ 2x + 4 & \sf\:{if\:\:x > -1}\end{cases}}

<h3>Piece 1:  If x ≤ -1, then it is defined by f(x) = x + 2. </h3>

We must choose a domain value that falls within the interval of x ≤ -1 whose output is included is included in the graph of the partial line with a <u>closed dot</u>.

Substitute x = -2 into f(x) = x + 2:

  • f(x) = x + 2
  • f(-2) = (-2) + 2
  • f(-2) = 0  ⇒  <em>True statement</em>.

⇒ The output value of f(-2) = 0 <u>is</u> included the graph of the partial line whose endpoint is at (-1, 1).

<h3>Piece 2: If x > -1, then it is defined by f(x) = 2x + 4.</h3>

We must choose a domain value that falls within the interval of x > -1 whose output is included is included in the graph of the partial line with an <u>open dot</u>.

Substitute x = 0 into f(x) = 2x + 4:

  • f(x) = 2x + 4
  • f(0) = 2(0) + 4
  • f(0) = 0 + 4 = 0  ⇒  <em>True statement</em>.

⇒ The output value of f(0) = 4 <u>is</u> included in the graph of the partial line whose endpoint is at (-1, 2).  

<h2>Final Answer: </h2>

We can infer that the piecewise-defined function that represents the graph is:

\boxed{\displaystyle\sf\ Option\:D:\:\: f(x) = \begin{cases}\displaystyle\sf\ x + 2 & \sf\:{if\:\:x \leq -1} \\\displaystyle\sf\ 2x + 4 & \sf\:{if\:\:x > -1}\end{cases}}.

Magaldi is constructing its cash budget. Its budgeted monthly sales are $20,000, and they are constant from month to month. 60%
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

$5,820

Step-by-step explanation:

The average net cash flow during the month is total cash receipt minus total payments.

Cash receipt on the month's sales=60%*$20,000*98.5%=$11820

60% cash received ,the 98.5% is after cash discount of 1.5%

cash receipt from previous month sale=40%*$20,000=$8,000

Payment for purchases=$20,000*40%=$8,000

payment for wages,rent and taxes=$20,000*30%=$6000

Total cash inflow=$11,820+$8,000=$19820

total cash outflow=$8,000+$6,000=$14,000

average net cash flow=$19,820-$14,000=$5,820

Hakim saves money for one year to buy a computer.
elena55 [62]

Answer:

$111

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to take a look at the bank account of Hakim. Hakim initially invested $700 in the bank with a 5% simple interest annually. Since Hakim waited for an entire year before buying the computer, he will then have the extra 5% interest from the bank.

Let's first compute for how much Hakim will have in total in the bank.

A = P(1 + rt)

P = 700 Initial Investment

r = 5% or 0.05 Interest

t = 1 Year

A = 700(1 + (0.05 x 1))

A = 700(1 + 0.05)

A = 700(1.05)

A = 735

So now we know that Hakim has a total of $735 in his bank account.

Now let's move on to calculating the total cost of the computer. We know that the sales tax is always computed after the discounted price.

So first we find the discounted price.

x = 750

d = 20% or 0.20

Discount = 750 x 0.20

Discount = 150

Now that we have the discount of the computer, we then simply subtract the discount to the initial price.

750 - 150 = 600.

The computer will then cost $600 with the discounted price.

Now we have to find the sales tax.

Sales Tax = 4% or 0.04

Total Discounted Price = 600

600 x 0.04 = $24

Now that we have the sales tax, we simply add the sales tax to the discounted price.

600 + 24 = 624.

Now that we know how much the total cost of the computer is with the discount and sales tax, we simply subtract the total cost of the computer to Hakim's current account balance.

735 - 624 = 111

Hakim will have a total of $111 in his bank account after purchasing the computer.

Find f(-2) if f(x) = x + x + 7. f(-2) =
viktelen [127]

Answer:

f(-2) = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

f(x) = x + x + 7

We need to find the value of f(-2).

Put x = -2 in the given function.

f(-2) = (-2) + (-2) + 7

= -2-2+7

= -4+7

= 3

Hence, the value of f(-2) is equal to 3.
