Answer:

f(-1) is undefined.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

f(x) = \left\{        \begin{array}{ll}            -3x-11 & \quad x \leq -5\\            2 & \quad x > 5        \end{array}    \right.

And we want to find f(-1).

The piecewise function only gives us values for <em>x-</em>values less than or equal to -5 or greater than 5.

Since -1 is fits neither of those conditions, it is not defined.

Our answer is undefined.

If f(x) is a linear function, what is the value of n?
lana [24]
The generic equation for a linear function can be expressed in the slope intercept form f(x) = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. For this problem we can first find the equation of the line. Then we substitute x = 7 to get the f(x) value, which is n at the point x = 7.

To find the equation of the linear function we first find the slope. Slope is defined as the change in f(x) divided by the change in x. As we are given a linear function, the slope at every point is the same. We can pick any two points known to find the slope.

Let's pick (3, 7) and (9, 16). The slope m is m = (16-7)/(9-3) = 9/6 = 3/2.

Now that we have the slope, we can plug in the slope and one of the points to find b. Let's use the point (3, 7).
f(x) = mx + b
7 = (1/2)(3) + b
b = 11/2

Now we can write the equation
f(x) = (1/2)x + 11/2

Plugging in x = 7 we find that f(7) = 9. n = 9
