To find f(-20), first figure out which piece x = -20 fits with.
Since -20 < -12, x = -20 first in the domain used by the third piece.
For f(-20), treat this function as if it was just f(x) = 3x-7.
f(-20) = 3(-20) -7
= -60 - 7
= -67
I'm not good with intigers, but if you added two negative intigers together wouldn't it still be negative? If you added -1 to -2 you'd get -3. It would always be less than the two original integers.
Step One: Calculate interest.

Step Two: Calculate the amount at the end of the first year.

Step Three: Calculate the amount at the end of the second year. This will be your final answer.
$1357 balance
Part a: 30 gallons (i think)
part b: 220
What is the time it takes Sanjay to complete the puzzle? 6 hours
What is the time it takes Felipe to complete the puzzle? 8 hours
We can use the general formula of rate and time to solve this problem. Generally we have,
<em><u>Rate * Time = Work/Job</u></em>
<em>** where Work/Job for this problem is 1 since they are doing 1 work, which is solving a puzzle</em>
- <u>Finding rate of Sanjay:</u>

- <u>Finding rate of Felipe:</u>

Working together, their rate is the sum,
Total Rate =
.
Using the general formula again, we can find the time it will take to solve the puzzle when both works together.
hours
Rounding the answer, we have 3.4 hours.
ANSWER: 3.4 hours
