Answer: 12 sqrt(5)
Explanation:
First simplify:
= Sqrt(45)
= sqrt(9*5) sqrt of 9 is 3 so bring out 3
= 3sqrt(5)
= 2sqrt(20)
= 2sqrt(4*5) sqrt of 4 is 2 so bring that out and multiply it by 2
= 4sqrt(5)
= 5 sqrt(5) is already simplified
= 3sqrt(5) + 4 sqrt(5) + 5sqrt(5)
= 12 sqrt(5)
We first need to pick the correct piece to use. In this case, we will use f(x) = -x-5 because -5<=-4.
Then, we use direct substitution:
f(-4) = -(-4) - 5
f(-4) = -1
