Given :
A function f(x) for different range of x.
To Find :
The value of f( -3 ) .
Solution :
We have to find the value of function at x = -3.
Now, in the given figure -3 lies in range x ≤ -2 and definition of function at that range is :

So, putting value of x = -3 in above equation, we get :

Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The given sequence is
-12,-16,-20...
The first term of this sequence is
.
The common difference is


The nth term of this arithmetic sequence is;

We substitute the values for the first term and the common difference to obtain;

1.69 is 1.3 to the second power
