Question

Which one of the following graphs is the graph of:3if -2 < x < 01if x = 0if 0 < x≤ 2f(x) =A.44B.4-²-(x + 1)?

Answer 1

Given the piecewise function:

$f(x)=\begin{cases}{3\text{ if -2}\leq x<0} \\ {1\text{ if x=0}} \\ {-(x+1)\text{ if 0 < x}\leq2}\end{cases}$

Let's select the graph which represents the function.

We have the graph below:

For f(x) = 3, the graph will be a horizontal line on y = 3 which has an open dot on x = 0 and a closed dot on x = -2

For f(x) = 1 if x = 0, the graph will have a closed dot located on the point (0, 1)

For f(x) = -(x + 1) if 0 < x ≤2, the graph will have a negative slope with an open dot on (0, -1) and closed dot on (2, -3)

Graph B
