Option B: 5 is the value of f(3)
Explanation:
The equation of the piecewise function is given by
We need to find the value of
The value of the function f can be determined when by identifying in which interval does the value of
lie in the piecewise function.
Thus, lies in the interval
, the function f is given by
Substituting in the function
, we get,
Thus, the value of is 5.
Therefore, Option B is the correct answer.
