explanation: This is the edmentum answer
The function and the first value stated for x are confusing.
Doing some research, I found that the problem is to evaluate the function

for x = - 1 and x 2.
The solution is:
1) For x = - 1

2) For x = 2
X=5 if that's what you were asking for
2 because 1 and 1 half x 2 is 3 and that is two whole.
3/4 is hald of a whole so it cant count
