Please help me! Find the number x such that f(x) =1

STatiana [176]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the piecewise function:

$f(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -\frac{1}{2}x-1 & \quad x \leq -2 \\ x & \quad x > -2 \end{array} \right.$

And we want to find x such that f(x)=1.

So, let's substitute 1 for f(x):

$1 = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -\frac{1}{2}x-1 & \quad x \leq -2 \\ x & \quad x > -2 \end{array} \right.$

This has two equations. So, we can separate them into two separate cases. Namely:

$1=-\frac{1}{2}x-1\text{ or } 1=x$

Let's solve for x in each case.

Case I:

We have:

$1=-\frac{1}{2}x-1$

Add 1 to both sides:

$2=-\frac{1}{2}x$

Let's cancel out the fraction by multiplying both sides by -2. So:

$2(-2)=(-2)\frac{-1}{2}x$

The right side cancels:

$-4=x\\$

Flip:

$x=-4$

So, x is -4.

Case II:

We have:

$1=x$

Flip:

$x=1$

This is the solution for our second case.

So, we have:

$x_1=-4\text{ or } x_2=1$

Now, can check to see if we have to to remove solution(s) that don't work.

Note that x=-4 is the solution to our first equation.

The first equation is defined only if x is less than -2.

-4 is less than -2. So, x=-4 is indeed a solution.

x=1 is the solution to our second equation.

The second equation is defined only if x is greater than or equal to -2.

1 is greater than or equal to -2. So, x=1 is also a solution.

Therefore, our two solutions are:

$x_1=-4\text{ or } x_2=1$

Out of our answer choices, we can pick D.

And we're done!

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

16 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, we divide 2 over 1/8, to see how many units of 1/8 fits into that of 2.

$\frac{2}{\frac{1}{8} }$ can be rewritten as 2*8. 2*8 = 16 bags.
