Question

For fx), evaluate the following: a. (0) b. (6)

Answer 1

Answer:

a. f(0) = 4

b. f(6) = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve the question

∵ f(x) = x + 4 if x < 5 ⇒ First part

→ That means if x less then 5 we will use this part of f(x)

∵ f(x) = 8 if 5 ≤ x < 7 ⇒ Second part

→ That means if x = 5 or greater than 5 and less than 7, we will use

   this part of f(x)

∵ f(x) = 2x - 1 if 7 ≤ x ≤ 10 ⇒ Third part

→ That means if x equal 7 or greater than 7 and less than 10 or equal 10,

   we will use this part of f(x)

a. The value of f(0)

∵ x = 0

∵ 0 < 5

→ That means we will use the first part of f(x)

∵ f(x) = x + 4

∴ f(0) = 0 + 4

∴ f(0) = 4

b. The value of f(6)

∵ x = 6

∵ 6 is between 5 and 7

→ That means we will use the second part of f(x)

∵ f(x) = 8

→ It means the value of f(x) is 8 for any values of x from 5 to less than 7

∴ f(6) = 8
