Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The following piecewise functions are linear functions. The graph of any of them is a line segment.
We just need to calculate the value of the function at each end specified in the brace.
Substitute x =-1 and x = 0:
Range of this piece is [-5; -2)
Substitute x =0and x = 5:
Range of this piece is [3; 13)
Therefore the range of the following piecewise function is:
Look at the picture.
Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
2a+ 2/a =4
Multiply each side by a to clear the fraction
a( 2a+ 2/a) =4*a
Distribute
2a^2 +2 = 4a
Subtract 4a from each side
2a^2 -4a +2 = 4a-4a
2a^2 -4a +2 =0
Divide by 2
2/2 a^2 -4a/2 +2/2 =0/2
a^2 -2a +1=0
Factor
(a-1) (a-1) =0
Using the zero product property
a=1
2a^2 -2/a^2
2(1)^2 -2/1^2
2-2
0
Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 5 total 6-packs of cola. 1 is cherry and the other is vanilla. 2 out of 5 are the flavors. This means you have a 2 in 5 chance of getting a cherry or vanilla cola.

Answer: 
</h3>
The -3 is not in the exponent
Explanation:
The parent function is 
. Plugging in x = 0 leads to y = 1. So the point (0,1) is on the f(x) curve. Going from (0,1) to (0,-2) is a vertical shift of 3 units downward. To represent this shift, we tack on a "-3" at the end of the f(x) function.
You could look at other points as well, but I find working with x = 0 is easiest.
As a check, plugging x = 0 into g(x) leads to...
This confirms our answer.
