There are 111 faculty members at the college and 629 students at the college.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The student to faculty ratio = 17:3
Total number of 740.
Let,
x be the original number.
Number of students = 17x
Number of faculty = 3x
Number of students + Number of faculty = 740
Dividing both sides by 20
Number of students = 17x = 17*37 = 629
Number of faculty = 3x = 3*37 = 111
There are 111 faculty members at the college and 629 students at the college.

The function is divided in 2 parts:
For x<0, the function is
, which is a linear function, and its graph is a line.
For x≥0, the function is
, which is a quadratic function, and its graph is a parabola.
Note that y=x is the line containing the points (0, 0), (1, 1), (5, 5) etc, that is, it is the line passing through the origin, with an inclination of 45° with the positive x-axis.
The parabola is the parabola 
reflected with respect to the x-axis. It contains points like (0, 0), (-1, 1), (2, -4) etc...
The 2 graphs, with domain all real numbers, are shown in the first picture.
The second picture is the graph of the function described in our problem. We use the first picture, but restrict the domains.
That is, we delete the part of the line corresponding to x≥0, and the part of the parabola corresponding to x<0.
