First point given: (5,4)
Y = -1/4x + b
4 = -1/4(5) + b
4 = -5/4 + b
b = 2.75
Equation: y = -1/4x + 2.75
Find three points
(5,4), (9,5), (1,3)
Plot these and draw a line
Answer: It will arrive at 5:55 P.M
Step-by-step explanation:
You can see the side conditions for the function. We read the x CANNOT be 4. See it?
We evaluate the bottom piece at x = 4. Let's do that.
f(x) = -2x
Let x be 4.
f(4) = -2(4)
f(4) = -8
What about the other piece?
Evaluate the top piece at x = 2.
Let's do that.
f(x) = 3x
Let x be 2.
f(2) = 3(2)
f(2) = 6
Answer: Choice D
Did you follow? It is a piecewise function. Solve it one piece at a time keeping each side condition in mind along the way.
