what about it?

anonymous · Answer

and I have to sketch it I'm completely lost

anonymous · Answer

hmm...

anonymous · Answer

I'm sure you really are a life saver

anonymous · Answer

well, the way to sketch a "piece-wise" defined function is to attack each "piece" separately

anonymous · Answer

this is difficult to explain in words...

anonymous · Answer

ok

anonymous · Answer

do I always use 0,1,and 2 to enter into the equation?

anonymous · Answer

to figure out what goes where?

anonymous · Answer

first lets get the function written in notation so we can see what we are dealing with...one second

anonymous · Answer

There are four parts to this question. a) find the domain, b) locate any intercepts, c) graph each function and d) based on the graph find the range.  I don't  understand where to start on any of it.

anonymous · Answer

I had the flu and missed one class and I don't understand

anonymous · Answer

this is what I think the function is...$$f(x)=x+3$$, if $$-2\leq x <1$$, 5 if $$x=1$$, $$-x+2$$ if $$x>1$$

anonymous · Answer

no worries, I just wanted to make sure I understood the function before starting an explanation

anonymous · Answer

yes thank you

anonymous · Answer

my suggestion is this, first mark your intervals on the x-axis with the appropriate (,),[, or ] notation

anonymous · Answer

then sketch the graph of the function with the rule that pertains to the appropriate interval

anonymous · Answer

this is a 5 second explanation with on a dry erase board...

i suggest looking on youtube for a video demostration

anonymous · Answer

demonstration

anonymous · Answer

now what? I don't know anything about u tube or how to get a math video, I lucked out with you guys
