evaluate the piecewise function at the given value of the independent variable.

3x + 1 if x < -1
f(x) =
-2x -5 if x > _ -1

determine f(2)

-9
-8
-3
1

Determine f(2).

Because 2>-1 we input 2 into every instance of x in the second function.

f(2)=-2(2)-5=-4-5=-9

-9

4

step-by-step explanation:

3/4 ÷ 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

basically divide any proper fraction with itself to fit the criteria.

so if we are using 3/4, then:

3/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1

so 1 is the quotient.

and the numerators for both these fractions is 3.   and if we divide the numerators:

3 ÷ 3 = 1

we see that quotient is equal to our original quotient as well.
