Answer:
f(x) = -2x + 7, when x > 1
f(x) = 4x + 1 when x ≤ 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The right side graph passe through points (1,5) and (2,3).
Hence, the equation of the line
⇒ (y - 5) = 2(1 - x)
⇒ y - 5 = 2 - 2x
⇒ y = -2x +7.......... (1)
Now, the left side graph passes through points (1,5) and (0,1)
Therefore, the equation of the graph will be
⇒ y - 5 = 4(x - 1)
⇒ y = 4x + 1 ........ (2)
Hence, the equation (1) gives the function in the right side of the given graph which does not include the point (1,5) and extends to the right from this point.
Therefore, f(x) = -2x + 7, when x > 1 (Answer)
Again, equation (2) gives the function in the left side of the given graph which includes the point (1,5) and extends to the left from this point.
Therefore, f(x) = 4x + 1 when x ≤ 1 (Answer)
You know how a puppy is a kind of dog, but not all dogs are puppies? Well, the same thing is true for lots of other categories of things, including squares and rectangles.
