Answer:

Juan believes the answer is -2/15.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given problem is :

$\dfrac{-1}{3}\times \dfrac{2}{5}$

We need to solve the problem.

$\dfrac{-1}{3}\times \dfrac{2}{5}=\dfrac{-1\times 2}{3\times 5}\\\\=\dfrac{-2}{15}$

So, the answer to the problem is $\dfrac{-2}{15}$ . Hence, Juan is correct.

Which piecewise function is shown in the graph?

mash [69]

Based on the characteristics of linear and piecewise functions, the piecewise function $f(x) = \left \{ {{-0.5\cdot x +1, \,x < 0} \atop {2\cdot x - 2, \,x \ge 0}} \right.$ is shown in the graph attached herein. (Correct choice: A)

<h3>How to determine a piecewise function</h3>

In this question we have a graph formed by two different linear functions. Linear functions are polynomials with grade 1 and which are described by the following formula:

y = m · x + b (1)

Where:
