Last PreCalc Question, Need help with writing piecewise functions with graphs. Giving brainliest!

The piece-wise linear functions can be written as follows:

  • f(x) = x, x \leq -2.
  • f(x) = -x - 7, -2 < x \leq 1.
  • f(x) = 2x - 9, x > 1.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

For x equal or less than -2, the line passes through (-3,-3) and (-2,-2), hence the rule is:

f(x) = x, x \leq -2.

For x greater than -2 up to 1, the y-intercept is of -7, and the line also passes through (1,-8), hence the rule is:

f(x) = -x - 7, -2 < x \leq 1.

For x greater than 1, the function goes through (2,-5) and (3,-3), hence the slope is:

m = (-3 - (-5))(3 - 2) = 2.

The rule is:

y = 2x + b.

When x = 2, y = -5, hence:

-5 = 2(2) + b

b = -9.

Hence:

f(x) = 2x - 9, x > 1.

The size of the overall population is __________ in determining the reliability of a poll.
lidiya [134]

The size of the overall population is <u>not important</u> in determining the reliability of a poll.

<h3>What is the purpose of the overall population in a poll?</h3>

The overall population that a poll is based on does not have anything significant to do with the poll itself which means that it is not important in determining reliability.

This is because the poll uses a sample of the population and not the population itself.

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

-2 =m

Step-by-step explanation:

–15 = 4m – 7

Add 7 to each side

–15+7 = 4m – 7+7

-8 = 4m

Divide each side by 4

-8/4 = 4m/4

-2 =m
