Question

A piecewise function g(x) is represented by the graph.

Answer 1

The piecewise functions that are represented by the graph are; g(x) = −2, x < −2; g(x) = −2x + 6, x ≥ 1; g(x) = x/2 + 1, –2 ≤ x < 1

How to Interpret a Piecewise Function graph?

From the attached graph of the piecewise function, we can access each option as follows;

A) g(x) = −2x, −2 < x < 0

This is not represented by the graph because g(x) = −2x has negative slope which means it goes downward. There's also no y-intercept in g(x) = −2x.

B)  g(x) = −2, x < −2;

This is represented by the graph because g(x) = −2 is a horizontal line which is only on the left side of x = -2.

C) g(x) = x − 2, −2 < x < 1;

This is not represented by the graph because g(x) = x − 2 has y-intercept at y = -2 and slope of 1 which means that graph of g(x)= x - 2 must be going upward and crossing at y = -2.

D) g(x) = −2x + 6, x ≥ 1

This is represented by the graph because g(x) = −2x+6 satisfies the graph which is going downward.

E) g(x) = x/2 + 1, –2 ≤ x < 1

This is represented by the graph because g(x) = (x/2) + 1 satisfies the graph which is going downward.

The options are;

g(x) = −2x, −2 < x < 0

g(x) = −2, x < −2

g(x) = x − 2, −2 < x < 1

g(x) = −2x + 6, x ≥ 1

g(x) = x/2+ 1, –2 ≤ x < 1
