Remark

Let's just figure out what f(1) and f(3) are and what equation to use.

f(1)

f(1) is defined by the top condition. Look at the condition carefully. -3 ≤ x ≤ 1

So the value of f(1) is

(x + 1)² -1

(1 + 1)² - 1

2² - 1

4 - 1 = 3

f(3)

f(3) is governed by the middle condition. 1 < x ≤ 3

The value of f(3) is - x + 2 = - 3 + 2 = - 1

Conclusion

f(1) > f(3)

Comment

Both f(1) and f(3) are defined. You just have to look around to find out where. D is wrong.

We calculated both f(1) and f(3). f(1) is larger than f(3) so that is your answer.

The first one and the third one are correct. because for the when you plug 1 on the first piece wise function you get 3.

f(3) =1. and f(1)=3 so f(1)>f(3)

A pair of dice are rolled. What is the probability of rolling 6 or less?

Allushta [10]

Answer:

1/36

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of rolling a number less than 6 or 6 itself on one die is 1/6. A pair of dice would be the combined probability 1/6*1/6 which is 1/36. So there's a 1/36 chance of having both dice roll numbers less than 6 or 6 itself.

the units digit of a two-digit number is twice the tens digit. If the digits are reversed, the new number is 9 less than the ori

Anton [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the correct and complete question: The units digit of a two-digit number is twice the tens digit. If the digits are reversed, the new number is 9 less than twice the original number. What is the original number?

Lets assume the original number be"10y+x". (x is unit digit and y is 10th digit)

∴ if number is reversed then resulting number be "10x+y".

As given: x= 2y

and $10x+y= 2(10y+x)-9$
