This is an example of a piecewise defined function. It means that the function has not a unique formula to represent it, but it depends on "where" you want to compute it.
So, if you choose any input 
, you have two alternative:
- If
(i.e., if you've chosen any input that is not 3), the output will be the opposite of the input you've chosen (
) - If
, the ouput will be -1.
So, let's forget about 
for a moment. For any input you choose, the answer is 
. The graph of this function is the bisector of the second and fourth quadrant.
Now remember that there is our special case: you have to "carve a hole" in our line, at , and assing to this point the value -1, instead of what we would expect, i.e. -3.
So, the graph of this function is the line , except for one point (), where we reassign the value to be -1.
This is not a valid question and, therefore, cannot be answered. (Reason: No graph is attached.) Try revising it or giving more information. Hope this helps! ❤️
Answer:
Conversion a mixed number 16 3
8
to a improper fraction: 16 3/8 = 16 3
8
= 16 · 8 + 3
8
= 128 + 3
8
= 131
8
To find new numerator:
a) Multiply the whole number 16 by the denominator 8. Whole number 16 equally 16 * 8
8
= 128
8
b) Add the answer from previous step 128 to the numerator 3. New numerator is 128 + 3 = 131
c) Write previous answer (new numerator 131) over the denominator 8.
Sixteen and three eighths is one hundred thirty-one eighths
Conversion a mixed number 9 5
8
to a improper fraction: 9 5/8 = 9 5
8
= 9 · 8 + 5
8
= 72 + 5
8
= 77
8
To find new numerator:
a) Multiply the whole number 9 by the denominator 8. Whole number 9 equally 9 * 8
8
= 72
8
b) Add the answer from previous step 72 to the numerator 5. New numerator is 72 + 5 = 77
c) Write previous answer (new numerator 77) over the denominator 8.
Nine and five eighths is seventy-seven eighths
Subtract: 131
8
- 77
8
= 131 - 77
8
= 54
8
= 2 · 27
2 · 4
= 27
4
The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(8, 8) = 8. Cancelling by a common factor of 2 gives 27
4
.
In words - one hundred thirty-one eighths minus seventy-seven eighths = twenty-seven quarters.
Step-by-step explanation:
4/10= 8/20, 2/5. For 8/20 u multiply 2 times and for 2/5 u divide by 2
