Hey there! :)
Answer:
C. {x² + 4, x < 2
{-x + 4 x ≥ 2
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a piecewise function, where the two equations are different. They are:
y = x²+ 4
y = -x + 4
The function x² + 4 is graphed where x < 2. (< is used because the circle is open)
The function -x + 4 is graphed where x ≥ 2. (≥ is used since the endpoint is closed)
Therefore, the correct answer is:
C. x² + 4, x < 2
-x + 4 x ≥ 2
Answer:
I think B.
Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that

Take it one piece at a time. For

, we can scale

by -5:

If we shift the argument by 1 and scale by -5, we have

so if we subtract this from

, we'll end up with

For the next piece, we can add another scaled and shifted step like

so that

For the last piece, we add one more term:

and so putting everything together, we get

:
