Answer:
Use the appropriate entry method for piecewise functions for the graphing calculator of interest.
Step-by-step explanation:
For Desmos, the entry looks like ...
f(x) = {x ≤ 2: -2x-1,-x+4}
_____
For a TI-84 calculator, the entry may look like ...
Y₁ = (-2X–1)(X≤2) + (-X+4)(X>2)
The symbols ≤ and > come from the TEST menu, which is the (2nd) shift of the MATH key.
Note that the function is the sum of the pieces, each piece multiplied by a test. For something like 0≤x<2, the multiplier would be a pair of tests:
... (0≤X)(X<2)
The answer will be 2 cuz you multiply them at the answers
We can simplify it a bit
oh wait,
remember taht x^0=1, no matter what x is
we see the whole thing is to the zero power
the whole thing is equal to 1
doesn't matter what x or y is
the whole thing evaluates to 1
3 x 12 would equal 36, +1 would make it 37. Since there is no space in between 2 and the (, you multiply it. 37 x 3 = 111
So, Jeff should order 111 books
