They are not because 1/2 you cannot multiply it by anything to get 1/8
Piecewise Function is like multiple functions with a speific/given domain in one set, or three in one for easier understanding, perhaps.
To evaluate the function, we have to check which value to evalue and which domain is fit or perfect for the three functions.
Since we want to evaluate x = -8 and x = 4. That means x^2 cannot be used because the given domain is less than -8 and 4. For the cube root of x, the domain is given from -8 to 1. That meand we can substitute x = -8 in the cube root function because the cube root contains -8 in domain but can't substitute x = 4 in since it doesn't contain 4 in domain.
Last is the constant function where x ≥ 1. We can substitute x = 4 because it is contained in domain.
Therefore:
![\large{ \begin{cases} f( - 8 ) = \sqrt[3]{ - 8} \\ f(4) = 3 \end{cases}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Clarge%7B%20%20%5Cbegin%7Bcases%7D%20f%28%20-%208%20%29%20%3D%20%20%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B%20-%208%7D%20%20%5C%5C%20f%284%29%20%3D%203%20%5Cend%7Bcases%7D%7D)
The nth root of a can contain negative number only if n is an odd number.

Answer:
x=2 y=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+x-3=3
3x-3=3
3x=6
x=2
y=2-3
y=-1
Do you mean to the nearest ten? If so, then it would be 60. Look to the right of the number you are to round, if it's 5 or more then round up. If it's 4 or less then round down. If it's a zero, then do nothing. The numbers following the one you are rounding get changed to zero's.
