Answers:

f(-3) = -1

f(-1) = 2

f(3) = 5

======================================

Explanations:

Draw a vertical line through -3 on the x axis. Make sure this vertical line crosses the orange graph. Mark this point of intersection and then draw a horizontal line from this point to the y axis. You should find that it touches -1 on the y axis. Check out the attached image to see this process in action.

Those steps basically say that x = -3 leads to y = -1. Since y = f(x), this means f(-3) = -1

Through similar steps, you should find that f(-1) = 2 and f(3) = 5

Note that the open hole/circle does not count. So if you land on an open hole, just keep going until you hit a closed circle on the other piece of the graph.

Straight-line equations are mathematical equations that are described in the plane of cartesian coordinates

General formula

y-y1 = m (x-x1)

y = mx + c

Where

m = straight-line gradient which is the slope of the line

x1, y1 = the Cartesian coordinate that is crossed by the line

c = constant

The formula for a gradient (m) between 2 points in a line

m = Δy / Δx

or we can use:

$\rm \dfrac{y-y_1}{y_2-y_1}=\dfrac{x-x_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Piecewise Functions: functions that have different equations based on the input (x) value

We look for 3 pieces of function from the graph

1. graph 1 is a straight line that passes through 2 points : (-4.0) and (-1, -3) so that the straight line equation:

$\rm \dfrac{y-0}{-3-0}=\dfrac{x+4}{-1+4}\\\\\dfrac{y}{-3}=\dfrac{x+4}{3}\\\\3y=-3(x+4)\\\\3y=-3x-12\\\\y=-x-4\Rightarrow \:for\:x$

2. graph 2 is a straight line with the equation: \

$\rm y=2\Rightarrow \:for\:-1\leq x$

3. graph 1 is a straight line that passes through 2 points, (3.5) and (5.1) so that the straight line equation :

$\rm \dfrac{y-5}{1-5}=\dfrac{x-3}{5-3}\\\\\dfrac{y-5}{-4}=\dfrac{x-3}{2}\\\\2(y-5)=-4(x-3)\\\\2y-10=-4x+12\\\\2y=-4x+22\\\\y=-2x+11\:\Rightarrow for\:x\geq 3$

A function made up of 3 pieces:

a solid dot means "including",

an open dot means "not including"

$\rm y=-x-4\:for\:x$

$\rm y=2\:for\:-1\leq x$

$\rm y=-2x+11\:for\:x\geq 3$

A) f (–3) =

Because -3 <-1, the function used is y = -x-4, so

f (-3) = - (- 3) -4

f (-3) = 3-4

f (-3) = -1

B) f (–1) =

Because x = -1, the function used y = 2, so

f (-1) = 2

C) f (3) =

Because x = 3, the function used is = -2x + 11, so

f (3) = -2 (3) +11

f (3) = -6 + 11

f (3) = 5

0.0076, if you meant 4.125 divided by 0.03125 it would be 132

step-by-step explanation:

first you have to move the decimal in 0.03125 over until its behind the 5 which is 5 places over. now the number is 3125

then you have to move the decimal in 4.125, 5 places over. now the number is 4,112,500.

now you divide like you would normally would and get 0.0076

$\boxed{\bold{2240a^4u^{18}w^3x^4}}$

explanation:

remove parenthesis: $\bold{\left(a\right)=a,\: -\left(-a\right)=a}$

= $\bold{4u^9w^1\cdot \: 7x^4\cdot \: 4a^3w^2\cdot \: 8\cdot \frac{1}{2}a^1\cdot \: 5u^9}$

apply rule $\bold{a^1=a}$

= $\bold{4\cdot \: 7\cdot \: 4\cdot \: 8\cdot \: 5\cdot \frac{1}{2}a^3au^9u^9w^2wx^4}$

multiply fractions: $\bold{\: a\cdot \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\: \cdot \: b}{c}}$

= $\bold{\frac{1\cdot \: 4u^9w\cdot \: 7x^4\cdot \: 4a^3w^2\cdot \: 8a\cdot \: 5u^9}{2}}$

$\bold{1\cdot \: 4u^9w\cdot \: 7x^4\cdot \: 4a^3w^2\cdot \: 8a\cdot \: 5u^9: \ 4480x^4w^3a^4u^{18}}$

= $\bold{\frac{4480a^4u^{18}w^3x^4}{2}}$

divide: $\bold{\frac{4480}{2}=2240}$

= $\bold{2240a^4u^{18}w^3x^4}$
