Answer:
See graph
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to graph the piece-wise function,
The two functions has a common point which is
.
Plot this point and one additional point on each line say;
and
.
Click the ray tool and click the common point first and then click the second point to draw the first line.
Repeat the same process to draw the second line.
This will give you the graph that is similar to the one in the attachment.
Answer:
16.40
Step-by-step explanation:
use Pythagorean theorem
To be honest, I'm not sure which four steps your teacher is referring to. However, I'll show you one way to graph this.
A graph is simply a collection of points. Often those points are connected in some way (though they don't necessarily have to be) to form a curve.
Each point is of the form (x,y). To get each point, we pick random x values and determine their paired y value counterpart.
For example, if we pick x = -3, then,
y= -x^2 -4x -3
y= -(-3)^2 -4(-3) -3
y = -9 - 4(-3) - 3
y = -9 + 12 - 3
y = 0
This indicates that (-3, 0) is one point on the curve.
Let's repeat for x = -2
y= -x^2 -4x -3
y= -(-2)^2 -4(-2) -3
y = -4 - 4(-2) - 3
y = -4 + 8 - 3
y = 1
So (-2, 1) is another point on the curve.
Repeat this process as many times as you want. You should do at least 3 or 4 points in my opinion. The more points you generate, the more accurate the curve. After generating the points, you'll plot them all on the same xy grid. Then finally draw a curve through all of the points as shown below.
I used GeoGebra to make the graph.
