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

LekaFEV [45]2 years ago

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.

What is the probability of getting a spade or a red card?
Verdich [7]

Answer:

  3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 the deck is red cards.

1/4 of the deck is spades.

There are no spades that are red cards, so the probability of drawing a red card or a spade at random from a well-shuffled deck is ...

  1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4

maw [93]

Answer:

1478 mi/h  

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change is the distance divided by the time.

\text{Rate of change} = \dfrac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} = \dfrac{\text{2956 mi}}{\text{2 h}} = \textbf{1478 mi/h}
