Insert the values in the function

anonymous · Answer

agreed
and plot all lines separately

anonymous · Answer

do you know how to find 
$$f(0)$$??

anonymous · Answer

since 
$$0\geq-2$$ you use the first rule so 
$$f(0)=0^2-3=-3$$

anonymous · Answer

$$x^-3$$ is not a line, it is a parabola

anonymous · Answer

All of this is so over my head... I can do the practice problems they give but this one I just cant seem to grasp
