Answer:

One way to factor equation is to find the zeros. Its obvious that x=-1 is solution for this. So one factor is (x+1)

the next factor should include 2x at first (because we have 2x^2 in the equation which can not be made any other way)

Let's suppose the factor is (x+1)(2x+b)

Since we do not know what is b open the brackets 2x^2+bx+2x+b. If this is equal to 2x^2+5x+3 then b=3. We are left with (x+1)(2x+3)=2(x+1)(x+3/2)

Would go for other shorter solutions, but they require some deeper understanding like Horner's scheme,Fermat's Theorem or even deeper which I assume You will not understand)

Let g be the piecewise defined function shown.

gogolik [260]

For this case we have the following function:
$g(x) = \left \{ {{x+4} \atop {2-x}} \right.$
For each of the domains we will choose a value.
We have then:

For −5 ≤ x ≤ −1
Let's choose the value of x = -3
Evaluating the function we have:
$g(x) = x+4

 g(-3) = -3+4

 g(-3) = 1$
Answer:
g(-3) = 1

For −1 < x ≤ 5:
Let's choose the value of x = 0
Evaluating the function we have:
$g(x) = 2-x

 g(0) = 2-0

 g(0) = 2$
Answer:
g(0) = 2
