We need to graph the given piecewise function.
To graph any piecewise function we do that into parts
Let's graph upper part first which is
restriction for that is
that means we are free to pick any number for x that is between -5 and 3, including 3.
So we will find few points by plugging random numbers between -5 and 3.
Let's use x=-5, we get:
so first point is (-5,27).
similarly we can find other points like (0,2), (2,6), (-1,3) etc.
Now we join those points by a curved line.
means we use a close circle at -5
x<3 means use open circle at 3
------------
Repeat same process for 2nd part f(x)=x-4
choose any number between 3 and 7 like x=3, 4 etc
so we get points (3,-1), (4,0) etc
Now graph them
So the final graph will look like:
Answer:
A.
B. 42.2 million
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A:
Given:
Newspapers circulated in year 2004,
Newspapers circulated in year 2014,
Let the time start at the year 2004. So,
For the year 2014,
Therefore, linear relationship between newspapers circulated and time passed since 2004 is given as:
Therefore, the equation describing the relationship is:
Part B:
For the year 2018,
Plug in 14 for in the above equation and solve for
. This gives,
Therefore, in the year 2018, the newspaper circulation will be 42.2 million.
