Answer:
Option (C) and (D)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given piecewise function is,
f(x) = 2x, x < 1
5, x = 1
, x > 1
Option (A),
x = 5 means x > 1
So the function will be,
f(x) =
f(5) = (5)²
= 25
Therefore, f(5) = 1 is not correct.
Option (B),
x = -2 means x < 1
f(x) = 2x will be applicable.
f(-2) = 2(-2) = -4
Therefore, f(-2) = 4 is not correct.
Option (C)
For x = 1,
f(1) = 5
Therefore, f(1) = 5 is the correct option.
Option (D)
x = 2 means x > 1 and the function defined will be,
f(x) = x²
f(2) = 2²
= 4
Therefore, f(2) = 4 will be the correct option.
Options (C) and (D) will be the answer.
