Answer:
b.
f. 17 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Charges for coming to my house = $68 (this will be the constant of the equation)
Amount charged per hour labor = $17
hours = h
Total amount paid to Mike = 357
The equation that represents this situation can be expressed as:
Solve for h
(subtraction property of equality)
(division property of equality)
Mike was in my house for 17 hours.
A piece-wise function combines more than one functions of different input values.
<em>The value of f(-1) is -3</em>
From the graph, we have the following observations
Notice that there is a closed circle at the point where x = -1 and y = -3.
This means that y = -3 is inclusive of the values of y on that particular function
However, there is an open circle at the point where x = -1 and y = -3.
This means that y = -4 is exclusive of the values of y on that particular function
The correct corresponding value of y is when y is inclusive.
Hence, the value of f(-1) is -3
