The value of the expression 3f(-2) + f(1) is 45
Piecewise functions
Piecewise functions are functions that has two or more equations. They can consists of parabola and straight line.
From the equations, the point where x is -2 is f(x) = 3x^2 - 2x
f(-2) = 3(-2)^2 - 2(-2)
f(-2) = 12 + 4
f(-2) = 16
Similarly the point where x = 1 is -2√x - 1
f(1) = -2√1 - 1
f(1) = -2 - 1
f(1) = -3
Substitute
3f(-2) + f(1) = 3(16) +(-3)
3f(-2) + f(1) = 48 - 3
3f(-2) + f(1) = 45
Hence the value of the expression 3f(-2) + f(1) is 45
