<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The second piecewise function,

f(x)=\left \{ {{-x-2,x

<h2>Why?</h2>

To answer the question, we need to find which piecewise function contains the graphs shown in the picture, we have that first line shown, is decreasing and exists from the negative numbers to 0,  and the line cuts the x-axis and the y-axis at "-2", for the second line shown,  we have that is decreasing but exists from 0 (including it) to the the positive numbers.

So, finding which piecewise satisfies the function shown, we have:

- First piecewise function:

f(x)=\left \{ {{-x-2,x

First line,

We have the first line,

-x-2

The variable has a negative coefficient (-1), meaning that the function (line) is decreasing, also we can see that the function does exists from all the numbers less than 0, to 0, and it cuts the x-axis at -2 and the y-axis at -2.

Second line,

\frac{x}{2}\geq 0

The variable has positive coefficient, meaning that the function (line) is increasing.

Hence, since the second line is not decreasing, the piecewise function is not the piecewise function shown in the picture.

- Second piecewise function,

f(x)=\left \{ {{-x-2,x

First line,

We have the first line,

-x-2

The variable has a negative coefficient (-1), meaning that the function (line) is decreasing, also we can see that the function does exist from all the numbers less than 0, to 0.

Second line,

-\frac{x}{2}\geq 0

The variable has a negative coefficient ((-\frac{1}{2}), meaning the the unction (line) is decreasing, also we can see that the function does exists from 0 (including it) to the positive numbers.

Hence, we have that the correct option is the second piecewise function,

f(x)=\left \{ {{-x-2,x

Note: I have attached a picture for better understanding.

Have a nice day!

Help! I have looked at so many lessons on writing exponential functions from a graph and nothing has helped.
Over [174]

Answer:

y = 8(-\frac{1}{2})^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of the exponential function is,

y = a(b)ˣ

Since the graph of this function passes through two points (4, \frac{1}{2}) and (3, -1)

For the point (4, \frac{1}{2}),

\frac{1}{2}=a(b)^4 ---------(1)

For second point (3, -1),

-1 = a(b)³ ---------(2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1),

\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{-1} = \frac{a(b)^4}{a(b)^3}

-\frac{1}{2}=b^{(4-3)}

-\frac{1}{2}=b

From equation (2)

-1 = a(-\frac{1}{2})^3

-1 = -\frac{1}{8}a

a = 8

Therefore, equation of the exponential function will be,

y = 8(-\frac{1}{2})^x

In 1997 there were 31 laptop computers at Grove High School. Starting in 1998 the school bought 20 more laptop computers at the
Kruka [31]

Using the linear equation, T = 20x + 31, the total number of computers at the end of 2005 is: C. 191.

<h3>How to Use a Linear Equation?</h3>

A linear equation is expressed as y = mx + b, where x is a function of y, m is the rate of change and b is the y-intercept or starting value.

In the scenario stated, we are given the linear equation for total number of laptop computers at the school after 1997 as, T = 20x + 31.

Rate of change = 20

y-intercept/starting value = 31

x = 2005 - 1997 = 8

To find the total number of laptop computers at Grove High School at the end of 2005 (T), substitute x = 8 into the equation, T = 20x + 31.

T = 20(8) + 31

T = 160 + 31

T = 191 computers.

Thus, total number of computers at the end of 2005 is: C. 191.
