Question

The graph represents the piecewise function: f(x)= { __, if -1 ≤ x ≤ 1; __, if 3 ≤ x ≤ 5 }

Answer 1

Answer:

4, x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The first piece of this function goes from -1 to 1. Since that part of the function is a horizontal line at y=4, and has no slope, this first part is just 4.

The second piece of this function goes from 3 to 5. This piece does have a slope that you can either solve or just from reading the graph will give you a slope of 1. Since one of the points is (3, 2), we can figure out that the y-intercept is -1. (You can also just extend the line across the y-axis). When putting this equation together we get x-1 being the second part.
