QUESTION 4

Answer 1

Answer:

$f(3) =-8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(x) = 2x + 5; x$

$f(x) =-3x + 1; x >1$

Required

Determine f(3)

f(3) implies that x = 3.

We make use of

$f(x) =-3x + 1$

Because x >1 (i.e. 3 > 1)

Substitute 3 for x in f(x) =-3x + 1

$f(3) =-3*3 + 1$

$f(3) =-9 + 1$

$f(3) =-8$
