Describe the piecewise function below by evaluating the function for given values of the domain

tekilochka [14]

We have a piecewise function.
Therefore, to find the function, we must evaluate each domain separately.
We have then:

For $x \leq -2$ :
The function for this domain is:
$y = -3
$

For $-2 \ \textless \ x \leq 2$ :
The function for this domain is:
$y = mx + b
$
Where,
$b = -3

 m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

 m = (1 - (-7)) / (2 - (-2))$
$m = (1 + 7) / (2 + 2)

 m = 8/4

 m = 2$
Substituting:
$y = 2x - 3
$

For $x\ \textgreater \ 2$ :
The function for this domain is:
$y = 5$

Answer:

9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic function can be rearranged to look like this:

x^2-3x-1=0

Now we see that the constant b is equal to -3. Using the hint, we find:

(-3/2)^2=9/4

Hope that helps!

What are the x intercepts for the graph of y= 3 ( x +1 )(x-6)

leonid [27]

The x intercepts occur when you set the factors equal to 0. x+1=0 & x-6=0 gives you the x-intercepts. x+1=0 -> x=-1. x-6=0 -> x=6. Therefore, -1 & 6 are your x intercepts
