Given :
A function f(x) for different range of x.
To Find :
The value of f( -3 ) .
Solution :
We have to find the value of function at x = -3.
Now, in the given figure -3 lies in range x ≤ -2 and definition of function at that range is :

So, putting value of x = -3 in above equation, we get :

Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:16
Step-by-step explanation:The lines that are outside of the numbers keep the numbers positive so if you change them to positive number (15+1) you can add them and it gives you 16
X=27
81 = 3x= 27
So x means 27
If an is a5
and
an-1 is a4
then using your recursive formula for an arithmetic sequence
an=an-1 +d
then
a5=a4+d
now, a4 =6 and common difference "d" is d=-11
hence
a5=6 -11
6-11= -5
any questions?
