2. Graph the piecewise function. 3x - 5 if x < -1
f(x) = {-2x + 3 if -1 < x < 4
2 if x > 4
I

The answer would be quadratic trinomial

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.
