Answer:

The piecewise function is

f(x)=\begin{cases}2x-1&\text{ if }x\leq-1\\ x+4&\text{ if } x\geq1 \end{cases}

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given graph it is noticed that the graph is divides into two pieces.

The first function is defined for all values of x which are less than or equal to -1. The second function is defined for all values of x which are greater than or equal to 1.

The equation of line which passing through two points is

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)

The first line is passing trough (-1,-3) and (-2,-5).

y-(-3)=\frac{-5-(-3)}{-2-(-1)}(x-(-1))

y+3=\frac{-2}{-1}(x+1)

y+3=2(x+1)

y=2x+2-3

y=2x-1

For x\leq-1 the function is defined as,

f(x)=2x-1

Similarly the second line is passing through (1,5) and (2,6).

y-5=\frac{6-5}{2-1}(x-1)

y-5=1(x-1)

y=x+4

For x\geq-1 the function is defined as,

f(x)=x+4

Therefore, the piecewise function is,

f(x)=\begin{cases}2x-1&\text{ if }x\leq-1\\ x+4&\text{ if } x\geq1 \end{cases}

Ok, so so we gots from x≤-1 and x≥1 for the bounds

hmm, the x≤-1 one

hmm, looks like the y intercept is -1 and the slope is 2/1
y=2x-1
test (-1,-3)
works
test (-2,-5)
works

yep

2x-1 is first blank



the other one

seems to have y intercept at 4 and slope of 1
y=1x+4
y=x+4
this works because I tested it



top left: 2x-1
top right: x≤-1 or x is less than or equal to -1
bottom left: x=4
bottom left: x≥1 or x is greater than or equal to 1

The trapezoids are similar. Both the left and right sides of the trapezoids are not parallel. Find the values of x, a, b, r° and
Artemon [7]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the figures are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{12}{x} = \frac{9}{6} ( cross- multiply )

9x = 72 ⇒ x = 8

Also

\frac{a}{5} = \frac{9}{6} ( cross- multiply )

6a = 45 ⇒ a = 7.5

And

\frac{b}{7} = \frac{9}{6} ( cross- multiply )

6b = 63 ⇒ b = 10.5

Corresponding angles in the 2 figures are congruent, thus

∠s = 83°

Each lower base angle is supplementary to the upper base angle on the same side, hence

∠r = 180° - 30° = 150°
