We first need to pick the correct piece to use. In this case, we will use f(x) = -x-5 because -5<=-4.
Then, we use direct substitution:
f(-4) = -(-4) - 5
f(-4) = -1
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We want to prove algebraically that:

is a parabola.
We use the relations

and

Before we substitute, let us rewrite the equation to get:

Or

Expand :

We now substitute to get:

This means that:

Square:

Expand:




This is a parabola (0,2.5) and turns upside down.
