<h3>Answers:</h3>
  • f(-5) = 23
  • f(12) = 433

==================================================

Explanation:

The given piecewise function is

f(x) = \begin{cases}-4x+3 \ \text{ if } \ x < 3\\-x^3 \ \text{ if } \ 3 \le x \le 8\\3x^2+1 \ \text{ if } \ x > 8\end{cases}

At first piecewise functions may be strange confusing things, but they aren't so bad. I like to think of it like this: f(x) is a function that changes its identity based on what the input x is. We have three situations

  • f(x) = -4x+3 when x < 3
  • f(x) = -x^3 when 3 \le x \le 8
  • f(x) = 3x^2+1 when x > 8

In a sense, we have three different functions but they are combined somehow.

If x is smaller than 3, then we go for the first definition. Or if x is between 3 and 8, then we go for the second definition. Or if x is larger than 8, then we go for the third definition.

-----------------------

f(-5) means f(x) when x = -5. We see that -5 is smaller than 3, so x = -5 makes x < 3 true. We'll use the first definition

f(x) = -4x+3

f(-5) = -4(-5)+3

f(-5) = 20+3

f(-5) = 23

------------------------

Now the input is x = 12. This is larger than 8. In other words, x = 12 makes x > 8 true. We'll use the third definition

f(x) = 3x^2+1

f(12) = 3(12)^2+1

f(12) = 3(144)+1

f(12) = 432+1

f(12) = 433

------------------------

Side notes:

  • We won't use the second definition since we don't have any x inputs between 3 and 8
  • To say "less than or equal to" on a keyboard, you can write "<=" without quotes. For example, x \le 5 is the same as x<=5

Solve and show how pls
irakobra [83]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

since -4 is being squared, we can write it out as -4 * -4, to get us the answer 16. this answer is positive because a negative times a negative will cancel out and = a positive.

Let set C = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} and set D = {2, 4, 6, 8}.
g100num [7]
<span>1. If it is intersection then it SHOULD be included in both the sets right? Now we know that odd numbers from 1-100 but the second set are multiples of 5 from 50-150! So we mainly need to look for common numbers which are ODD and are a MULTIPLE OF 5 BETWEEN 50 - 100!! So A={51,53,57,59,61......99} B={55,60,65,70.......95} [We stop till 100 because set A has no such element] So what is A ∩ B here? A ∩ B = {All odd numbers and multiples of 5 between 50 - 100}

How do I solve for question number 6
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

18 + 18\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangle has been split into two right triangles. The hypotenuse of the triangle (the diagonal) is 18. The angle in the triangle is 30. All right triangles have unique relationships between their sides depending on the angles. This triangle must be a 30 - 60 - 90 triangle and its sides will be a scaled version of 1 - \sqrt{3} -2.

The side 2 correspond to the hypotenuse of length 18. 2*9 = 18 and so the scale factor is 9. To find the remaining sides, multiply each side length by 9 from 1 - \sqrt{3} -2.

It becomes 9 - 9\sqrt{3}-18. So the rectangle is 9 by 9\sqrt{3}.

The perimeter of the rectangle is 9 + 9 + 9\sqrt{3} + 9\sqrt{3}=18 + 18\sqrt{3}
