Mathematics

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

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

steps below

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x + 5

g(x) = x - 4

f(g(x)) = f(x-4) = (x-4) + 5

William invested $2,300 in an account paying an interest rate of 2 1/8% compounded quarterly. Nolan invested $2,300 in an accoun
shusha [124]

Answer:

$478

Step-by-step explanation:

After 20 years, William will have a total of $3,513.94

After 20 years, Nolan will have a total of $3,991.93

Difference = $478

William:

2300[1 + (.02125 ÷ 4)]^4 · 20

2300 · (1 + .0053125)^80

2300(1.5278)

$3,513.94

Nolan:

2300[1 + (.0275 ÷ 12)]^12 · 20

2300 · (1 + .0023)^240

2300(1.7356)

$3,991.93

Given that El bisects ZCEA, which statements must be
Alexxx [7]

Question: Given that BE bisects ∠CEA, which statements must be true? Select THREE options.

(See attachment below for the figure)

m∠CEA = 90°

m∠CEF = m∠CEA + m∠BEF

m∠CEB = 2(m∠CEA)

∠CEF is a straight angle.

∠AEF is a right angle.

Answer:

m∠CEA = 90°

∠CEF is a straight angle.

∠AEF is a right angle

Step-by-step explanation:

Line AE is perpendicular to line CF, which is a straight line. This creates two right angles, <CEA and <AEF.

Angle on a straight line = 180°. Therefore, m<CEA + m<AEF = m<CEF. Each right angle measures 90°.

Thus, the three statements that must be TRUE are:

m∠CEA = 90°

∠CEF is a straight angle.

∠AEF is a right angle
