<h3>What is a piece-wise function?</h3>
A piece-wise function is a function that has different definitions, depending on the input.
In this problem, for inputs between -2 and 2, the function is a line that goes through (-2,-4) and (2,6). The slope is:
m = (6 - (-4))/(2 - (-2)) = 2.5.
The y-intercept is of b = 1, hence the rule is:

For x greater than 2 and less than 6, the function is constant at -3, hence the rule is:
.

Valerie bought 18yrds of fabric. If she used 9yrds of fabric on her quilt, she will use another 9yrds on her sister's. The total is 18yrds.
Solution:
3,500,000 - 2,030,000 = 1,470,000 square miles
Explanation:
Let's fully understand what this word problem is saying. Break it down.
The Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world.
The Australian Desert is the second largest desert.
This means that the Australian Desert has an area that is less than the Sahara desert.
We are given the size of the Sahara, which is 3,500,000 square miles, but not the size of the Australian desert.The area of the Australian desert is less by 2,030,000 square miles.This is the amount we have to subtract from the area of the Sahara to find the size of the Australian desert:
3,500,000-2,030,000= 1,470,000 square miles. Hope this helps!
