Answer: No, the friend is correct. In any function, each input value can only lead to one output value. When you input 3 for the x-values, you would get two output values because 3 is included in both equations. To fix this, you need to have the 3 not included in one of the equations.
For example, you could say 
or 
because the input value of 3 would not be included twice.
If you look at the attached screenshot, you will see that if you keep your friend's function, inputting 3 will result in two outputs of 4 and -3, so therefore, 
cannot represent a piecewise function.
Answer:
<h2>9</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
(-)(-) = (+)
(-)(+) = (-)
(+)(-) = (-)
(+)(+) = (+)
-(-21) = (-)(-21) = (+)21 = 21
-12 - (-21) = -12 + 21 <em>use commutative property: a + b = b + a</em>
= 21 + (-12) = 21 - 12 = 9
For problems like this, change the wording into simple algebraic
formulas. We know that the area of a rectangle is its width times its
length, or A=LW. The problem tells you that the area is 48, so LW=48.
Also, if the length = twice the width minus 4, then L=2W-4.
From here, substitute your new L value for the L in the first equation:
48=LW --> 48=(2W-4)W
Now solve this equation by factoring it out into a polynomial:
48=2W^2-4W --> 24=W^2-2W --> W^2-2W-24=0 --> (W+4)(W-6)=0.
Solving this equation gives us W values of 6 and -4, but since the width
of a rectangle cannot be negative, the width must be 6.
Since L=2W-4, then L=2(6)-4 --> L=12-4 = 8. Therefore, the dimensions are 6X8, or 6 feet by 8 feet.
To check our work: The length equals four feet less than twice the width: 8=2(6)-4 --> 8=12-4 --> 8=8. This checks out.
Also, the area is 48 ft^2, and (6)(8) = 48, so this also checks out.
Hopefully this helps. If you need any more help or if I went over something too quickly, just let me know.
