Question

What is the value of f(3)

Answer 1

if x = 3

3 > -1, and so you use the x² formula.

Plug in 3 for x

x² = (3)²

Simplify

3² = 3 x 3 = 9

9, or (A), is your answer

hope this helps

Answer 2

I would say the answer is 9, because x = 3 fits the criteria for x > -1, and so that means you have to square x and 3² = 9. I hope this helps!
