Answer: c) 3
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Plug in y = -9 and the given x-value to see if it makes a true statement.
a) -4.5 falls in the piecewise function x < -3 --> y = -x
y = -x
-9 = -(-4.5)
-9 = 4.5 FALSE
b) -3 falls in the piecewise function -3 ≤ x ≤ -2 --> y = 2x
y = 2x
-9 = 2(-3)
-9 = -6 FALSE
c) 3 falls in the piecewise function x > -2 --> y = -x²
y = -x²
-9 = -(-3)²
-9 = -9 TRUE
d) 9 falls in the piecewise function x > -2 --> y = -x²
y = -x²
-9 = -(9)²
-9 = -81 FALSE
I’m personally not to good at adding fractions so I turned 1/10 into 0.1
Then I divided 268.4 by .1 and got 2,674.
(-42) (-29) (-28)
-42 - 29 = -71
-71 - 28 = -99
-99 is your answer
hope this helps
