A) For f(-1) we use the part of the piecewise function for when x < 0 because -1 < 0. Plug in -1 for x:
2(-1) + 3 = 1
b) For f(0), we use the part for when x

0.
4(0) + 5 = 5
c) For f(2) we use the part for when x

0.
4(2) + 5 = 13
So for this one, all you have to do is plot the points it's giving you :)
Then you connect the lines and you get a shape from A-b-c-d

Answer:
x = 5/7
Step-by-step explanation:
4 (0.25 - 2) = x - 0.75 (16 - 8x)
1 - 8 = x - 12 + 6x
1 - 8 + 12 = x + 6x
5 = 7x
5/7 = x
