Answers:
f(-3) = -1
f(-1) = 2
f(3) = 5
======================================
Explanations:
Draw a vertical line through -3 on the x axis. Make sure this vertical line crosses the orange graph. Mark this point of intersection and then draw a horizontal line from this point to the y axis. You should find that it touches -1 on the y axis. Check out the attached image to see this process in action.
Those steps basically say that x = -3 leads to y = -1. Since y = f(x), this means f(-3) = -1
Through similar steps, you should find that f(-1) = 2 and f(3) = 5
Note that the open hole/circle does not count. So if you land on an open hole, just keep going until you hit a closed circle on the other piece of the graph.
Answer:
This is false. Lines will be congruent if they have the same length, which is not the case in all situations.
You could convert them into improper fractions first. 7 7/8 should become 63/8 and 3 1/4 should become 13/4. Then, change both fractions so they share a common denominator. I'll use 8.
63/8-26/8 = 37/8, which is then converted into 4 5/8.
Hope that helped you.
