- f(-5) = 23
- f(12) = 433
==================================================
Explanation:
The given piecewise function is
At first piecewise functions may be strange confusing things, but they aren't so bad. I like to think of it like this: f(x) is a function that changes its identity based on what the input x is. We have three situations
- f(x) = -4x+3 when x < 3
- f(x) = -x^3 when
- f(x) = 3x^2+1 when x > 8
In a sense, we have three different functions but they are combined somehow.
If x is smaller than 3, then we go for the first definition. Or if x is between 3 and 8, then we go for the second definition. Or if x is larger than 8, then we go for the third definition.
-----------------------
f(-5) means f(x) when x = -5. We see that -5 is smaller than 3, so x = -5 makes x < 3 true. We'll use the first definition
f(x) = -4x+3
f(-5) = -4(-5)+3
f(-5) = 20+3
f(-5) = 23
------------------------
Now the input is x = 12. This is larger than 8. In other words, x = 12 makes x > 8 true. We'll use the third definition
f(x) = 3x^2+1
f(12) = 3(12)^2+1
f(12) = 3(144)+1
f(12) = 432+1
f(12) = 433
------------------------
Side notes:
- We won't use the second definition since we don't have any x inputs between 3 and 8
- To say "less than or equal to" on a keyboard, you can write "<=" without quotes. For example,
is the same as x<=5
Answer:
x = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume (V) of the triangular prism is calculated as
V = Al ( A is the area of the triangular face and l is its length )
A = bh = 0.5 × 5 × 8 = 20 cm² , then
V = 20 × 20 = 400 cm³
The volume of the cuboid is calculated as
V = lbh = 3.2 × 5 × x = 16x
Given V = 400 cm³ , then
16x = 400 ( divide both sides by 16 )
x = 25
