Graph each piecewise function. Then identify the properties.
1 answer:
Answer:
Domain: (-∞, 0] U (0, ∞): All real numbers.
Range: (-∞, ∞)
Step-by-step explanation:
This function is composed of two polynomial functions, a quadratic whose domain is all real numbers and a negative slope whose domain is all real numbers.
Observe in the attached graph that the function is continuous for the whole domain, it does not have any jump. In addition, the parabolic function comes from ∞, then it has a minimum value in y = 1 it grows up to y = 4. Finally it joins with the equation of the line and it extends to -∞.
Then we can conclude that for this piecewise function:
Domain: (-∞, 0] U (0, ∞): All real numbers.
Range: (-∞, ∞)

<u>Part A
</u><u />To estimate this, we should first look at our fractions and see if they can be combined to form a whole number. In this case,
and 
equal approximately 1. We can add this "1" to the other to full gallons to estimate that the painter needs about 3 gallons.
<u>Part B
</u><u /><u />To find the exact amount, we should first change the mixed numbers to improper fractions. We do this by multiplying the denominator by the whole number, adding the numerator, and placing that value over the denominator.
Now, we need to find the least common denominator. This is the lowest value that both denominators will divide evenly into. In this case, that number is 15.
Next, we should multiply both fractions so that the denominator is that number. Remember that we must also multiply the numerator for the fraction to remain equivalent to its original value.
Now, we can simply add our numerators.
We know that he needs
gallons of paint, but this is not in the most simplified format. To simplify, we need to turn our improper fraction back to a mixed number. To do this, we need to divide our numerator by the denominator to create our whole number, and the remainder becomes our new numerator.
Using that logic, we can see that the painter needs exactly
