Answer:

The definition for the given piecewise-defined function is:   \boxed{\displaystyle\sf\ Option\:D:\:\: f(x) = \begin{cases}\displaystyle\sf\ x + 2 & \sf\:{if\:\:x \leq -1} \\\displaystyle\sf\ 2x + 4 & \sf\:{if\:\:x > -1}\end{cases}}.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>General Concepts:</h3>
  • Piecewise-defined functions.
  • Interval notations.

<h3>What is a piecewise-defined function?</h3>

A piecewise-defined function represents specific rules over different intervals of the domain.  

<h3>Symbols used in expressing interval notations:</h3>

Open interval: This means that the endpoint is <em>not</em> included in the interval.

We can use the following symbols to indicate the <u>exclusion</u> of endpoints in the interval:

  • Left or right parenthesis, "(  )" (or both).
  • Greater than (>) or less than (<) symbols.
  • Open dot "\circ" is another way of expressing the exclusion of an endpoint in the graph of a piecewise-defined function.

Closed interval: This implies the inclusion of endpoints in the interval.

We can use the following symbols to indicate the <u>inclusion</u> of endpoints in the interval:

  • Open- or closed brackets (or both), "[  ]."
  • Greater than or equal to (≥) or less than or equal to (≤) symbols.
  • Closed circle or dot, "•" is another way of expressing the <em>inclusion</em> of the endpoint in the graph of a piecewise-defined function.  

<h2>Determine the appropriate function rule that defines different parts of the domain.  </h2>

The best way to determine which piecewise-defined function represents the graph is by observing the <u>endpoints</u> and <u>orientation</u> of both partial lines.

  • Open circle on (-1, 2):  The graph shows that one of the partial lines has an <em>excluded</em> endpoint of (-1, 2) extending towards the <u>right</u>. This implies that its domain values are defined when x > -1.
  • Closed circle on (-1, 1): The graph shows that one of the partial lines has an <em>included</em> endpoint of (-1, 1) extended towards the <u>left</u>. Hence,  its domain values are defined when x ≤ -1.

Based on our observations from the previous step, we can infer that x > -1 or x ≤ -1 apply to piecewise-defined functions A or D. However, only one of those two options represent the graph.

<h2>Solution:</h2><h3>a) Test option A:</h3>

    \boxed{\displaystyle\sf Option\:A)\:\:\:f(x) = \begin{cases}\displaystyle\sf\ 2x + 2 & \sf\:{if\:\:x \leq -1} \\\displaystyle\sf\ x + 4 & \sf\:{if\:\:x > -1}\end{cases}}

<h3>Piece 1: If x ≤ -1, then it is defined by f(x) = 2x + 2. </h3>

We must choose a domain value that falls within the interval of x ≤ -1 whose output is included is included in the graph of the partial line with a <u>closed dot</u>.

Substitute x = -2 into f(x) = 2x + 2:  

  • f(x) = 2x + 2
  • f(-2) = 2(-2) + 2
  • f(-2) = -4 + 2
  • f(-2) = -2  ⇒  <em>False statement</em>.

⇒ The output value of f(-2) = -2 is <u>not</u> included in the graph of the partial line whose endpoint is at (-1, 1).

<h3>Piece 2: If x > -1, then it is defined by f(x) = x + 4. </h3>

We must choose a domain value that falls within the interval of x > -1 whose output is included in the graph of the partial line with an <u>open dot</u>.

Substitute x = 0 into  f(x) = x + 4:

  • f(x) = x + 4
  • f(0) = (0) + 4
  • f(0) = 4  ⇒  <em>True statement</em>.

⇒ The output value of f(0) = 4 <u>is</u> included in the graph of the partial line whose endpoint is at (-1, 2).

Conclusion for Option A:

Option A is not the correct piecewise-defined function because one of the pieces, f(x) = 2x + 2, does not specify the interval (-∞, -1].

<h3>b) Test option D:</h3>

    \boxed{\displaystyle\sf Option\:D)\:\:\:f(x) = \begin{cases}\displaystyle\sf\ x + 2 & \sf\:{if\:\:x \leq -1} \\\displaystyle\sf\ 2x + 4 & \sf\:{if\:\:x > -1}\end{cases}}

<h3>Piece 1:  If x ≤ -1, then it is defined by f(x) = x + 2. </h3>

We must choose a domain value that falls within the interval of x ≤ -1 whose output is included is included in the graph of the partial line with a <u>closed dot</u>.

Substitute x = -2 into f(x) = x + 2:

  • f(x) = x + 2
  • f(-2) = (-2) + 2
  • f(-2) = 0  ⇒  <em>True statement</em>.

⇒ The output value of f(-2) = 0 <u>is</u> included the graph of the partial line whose endpoint is at (-1, 1).

<h3>Piece 2: If x > -1, then it is defined by f(x) = 2x + 4.</h3>

We must choose a domain value that falls within the interval of x > -1 whose output is included is included in the graph of the partial line with an <u>open dot</u>.

Substitute x = 0 into f(x) = 2x + 4:

  • f(x) = 2x + 4
  • f(0) = 2(0) + 4
  • f(0) = 0 + 4 = 0  ⇒  <em>True statement</em>.

⇒ The output value of f(0) = 4 <u>is</u> included in the graph of the partial line whose endpoint is at (-1, 2).  

<h2>Final Answer: </h2>

We can infer that the piecewise-defined function that represents the graph is:

\boxed{\displaystyle\sf\ Option\:D:\:\: f(x) = \begin{cases}\displaystyle\sf\ x + 2 & \sf\:{if\:\:x \leq -1} \\\displaystyle\sf\ 2x + 4 & \sf\:{if\:\:x > -1}\end{cases}}.

PLEASE HELP ASAP! Will give brainliest if you explain
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Well, the best way to solve this would involve the Pythagorean theorem. 
First, take the length of the hypotenuse (the string in this case) and square it. Do the same to the side length we are given (the kites height above the ground).
We then subtract the squared height from the squared hypotenuse. We should be left with 1,781m.
All we have to do now is find the square root of 1,781m.

Your answer for b is 42.20189569m.

Which equation shows that the Pythagorean identity is true for 0 = 180 degrees? select the equation that is in the form sin^2 0+
elixir [45]

The equation in the form of the given expression is (0)² + (1)² = 1

<h3>Trigonometry identity</h3>

According to some of the trigonometry identity

sin 0 = 0

cos 0 1

Given the expression below

sin^2 0+cos^2 0=1

This can also be expressed as:

(sin0)² + (cos0)² = 1

Substitute

(0)² + (1)² = 1

Hence the equation in the form of the given expression is (0)² + (1)² = 1
