Question

Describe the piece wise function below by evaluating the function for given values of the domain.

Answer 1

Answer:

• y = -3 (x ≤ -2)
• y = 2x - 3 (-2 < x ≤ 2)
• y = 5 (2 < x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The leftmost piece of the function is constant at -3.

The middle piece is a line with a slope of 2 that intersects the y-axis at -3, so has equation y = 2x-3. (The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is y = slope·x + y-intercept. The slope is found by counting the number of vertical grid squares that correspond to each horizontal grid square.)

The rightmost piece is constant at +5.
