Answer:
Use the appropriate entry method for piecewise functions for the graphing calculator of interest.
Step-by-step explanation:
For Desmos, the entry looks like ...
f(x) = {x ≤ 2: -2x-1,-x+4}
_____
For a TI-84 calculator, the entry may look like ...
Y₁ = (-2X–1)(X≤2) + (-X+4)(X>2)
The symbols ≤ and > come from the TEST menu, which is the (2nd) shift of the MATH key.
Note that the function is the sum of the pieces, each piece multiplied by a test. For something like 0≤x<2, the multiplier would be a pair of tests:
... (0≤X)(X<2)
A=1/2bh
b=8+h
A=384
384=1/2(bh)
times 2
768=bh
sub
768=b(8+b)
768=8b+b^2
minus 768 both sides
0=b^2+8b-768
factor
0=(b-24)(b+32)
set to zero
b-24=0
b=24
b+32=0
minus 32
b=-32
false, legnths cannot be negative
b=24
24=8+h
minus 8
16=h
base=24ft
altetude=16ft
Just set it equal to zero and solve using the quadratic equation.
