Answer: D: x = (-9, 0) U (0, 4) U (4, 8)
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Line 1: y = -2 where -9 < x < 0
Line 2: y = 2)x + 1 where 0 < x < 4
Line 3: y = -(1/2)x + 6 where 4 < x < 8
Domain represents the x-values. Since all of them are open dots, the intervals are strictly less than (<).
-9 < x < 0 and 0 < x < 4 and 4 < x < 8 is the union of these intervals
-9 < x < 0 U 0 < x < 4 U 4 < x < 8
Interval Notation: D: x = (-9, 0) U (0, 4) U (4, 8)
