8-x(y)
or in words 8 minus x times y do the 8 minus x first then the times y
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the value of f(x) at x=-1, we substitute x=-1 and simplify.

f(-1)=2.
Answer B.
1. The intevals of x should be:
because point (-1,1) lies on the linear part of the graph;
because the point (-1,1) doesn't lie on the first parabola;
This gives you that option B is false.
Now the middle part of the graph is parabola going in negative y-direction and right part of the graph is parabola going in positive y-direction. Therefore, option A is false, because there the middle parabola is going upward.
The third part of the graph has vertex at point (5,4). In option D the vertex of the parabola is (3,4), so this option is false.
Answer: correct choice is C.
