==================================================
Explanation:
The given piecewise function is
At first piecewise functions may be strange confusing things, but they aren't so bad. I like to think of it like this: f(x) is a function that changes its identity based on what the input x is. We have three situations
- f(x) = -4x+3 when x < 3
- f(x) = -x^3 when
- f(x) = 3x^2+1 when x > 8
In a sense, we have three different functions but they are combined somehow.
If x is smaller than 3, then we go for the first definition. Or if x is between 3 and 8, then we go for the second definition. Or if x is larger than 8, then we go for the third definition.
-----------------------
f(-5) means f(x) when x = -5. We see that -5 is smaller than 3, so x = -5 makes x < 3 true. We'll use the first definition
f(x) = -4x+3
f(-5) = -4(-5)+3
f(-5) = 20+3
f(-5) = 23
------------------------
Now the input is x = 12. This is larger than 8. In other words, x = 12 makes x > 8 true. We'll use the third definition
f(x) = 3x^2+1
f(12) = 3(12)^2+1
f(12) = 3(144)+1
f(12) = 432+1
f(12) = 433
------------------------
Side notes:
- We won't use the second definition since we don't have any x inputs between 3 and 8
- To say "less than or equal to" on a keyboard, you can write "<=" without quotes. For example,
is the same as x<=5
Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
The points will be on the same line if they have the same slope. Calculate the slope of each pair. If the slopes are the same, then they lie on the same line.
The slope is the same.
