if you look at the part where the first part connects with the second part:
y = 5 if x < - 2
y = -2x + 1 if -2 ≤ x < 1
we don't have a discontinuity there, so there shouldn't be a dot.

What is wrong with the graph?</h3>
When we graph over intervals like (a, b) or [a, b] or something like that, we use dots to define the end of the intervals, and to denote that the function ends abruptly or we have a jump.
In this case, you can see that between the end and the second part and the beginning of the third part there is a jump, so the use of dots is correct there, but if you look at the part where the first part connects with the second part:
y = 5 if x < - 2
y = -2x + 1 if -2 ≤ x < 1
we don't have a discontinuity there, so there shouldn't be a dot.
That is the only error with the graph.

The way to solve this question is to essentially reverse the equation I used in the other answer.
I would solve this with some theoretical values. If you start with 3, how long would it take for it to triple, or reach 9.
the equation would look like 9 = 3(2)^t/6, note how the instead of 1/2 it is now 2 in the parenthesis, as it doubles every 6 hours rather than halves every amount of hours.
When placed into an algebra calculator, the answer should be about 9.5 hours
Answer: (0, -3/7)
Step-by-step explanation:
The Y-intercept would be the value of y when x is at 0, which is when the Y axis is intercepted. -3/7 is the starting position of the function when the the X = 0.
Answer:
10x^2-11x-6
Step-by-step explanation:
To expand, we use the FOIL method. You do this by multiplying each number inside the parenthesis by the other numbers in the other set of the parenthesis. For example, on this problem, you would multiply 5x by 2x, and then 5x by -3.
Step by step, you would:
5x * 2x = 10x^2
5x * -3 = -15x
2 * 2x = 4x
2 * -3 = -6
In an equation, it would expand to 10x^2-15x+4x-6
To simplify, you add like terms (constants and those with the same variable). In this case, you would add together all the terms ending in x.
-15x+4x=-11x
Now, you have added like terms together, so your simplified answer is 10x^2-11x-6.
