The answer is A: 4. This is easy once you know the order of operations, aka PEMDAS. Parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, and addition/subtraction.
That means that head was the most one to appear than tails
Answer:
f(-3) = -2
f(-2.6) = -2
f(0.6) = 2.4
f(4.5) = 8.5
Step-by-step explanation:
(Whole question:
Evaluate the piecewise function for the given values.
Find f(-3), f(-2,6), f(0.6), and f(4.5) for f(x)={ -2 If x ≤ 0 4x. If 0 <x <1. x + 4. If x ≥ 1)
As the piecewise function shows, the function f(x) has the value of -2 for values of x lesser or equal than 0, has the value of 4x if the value of x is between 0 and 1, and has the value of x+4 for values of x greater or equal than 1.
So, for f(-3), the value of x is lesser than 0, so we have that f(-3) = -2
For f(-2.6), the value of x is lesser than 0, so we have that f(-3) = -2
For f(0.6), the value of x is between 0 and 1, so we have that f(0.6) = 4*0.6 = 2.4
For f(4.5), the value of x is greater than 1, so we have that f(4.5) = 4.5 + 4 = 8.5
You just have to plug in each thing:
So f(0):
3(0)^2 - 4 = -4
so its not A
f(-2) and f(2):
3(-2)^2 - 4
3(2)^2 -4
now we don't even have to calculate these, anything to the power of an even number is a positive number so -2^2 and 2^2 both equal 4
B is correct, so you can do the others if you want to check, but if B is true the others shouldn't be true.
