Question

Help please! Identify the graph of f(x) as defined.

Answer 1

I took part A of this class over the summer, but my counselor didn't give me part B until now and it's been a while since I've worked with this math. If anyone can help re-teach this to me, I would really appreciate it!

Answer 2

I think I have an idea of how to do this but I'm not sure. I had to get help from another friend, but i'm still not completely sureabout it :/

Answer 3

the first one

Answer 4

How did you get the answer, if you don't mind me asking? (:

Answer 5

Well it must be the first one because each of them have the same slope but is reflected on the y axis.

F(5) is defined by the second equation of the piece wise function so therefor it must be the first.

Answer 6

Is the slope in this case 3x, and -3x?

Answer 7

Yeah. That - sign means the graph is the same but reflected on the y axis. The slope is independent of the negative.

Answer 8

OOH. I remember something about that. Okay, but what about that 2 and -2? What are those?

Answer 9

The slope for both functions is till 2.

Answer 10

But the one with the negative sign has been reflected on the y-axis.

Answer 11

Ah, alrighty. By "the first one" are you talking about this graph?

Answer 12

Or this one

Answer 13

That one.

Answer 14

Oooh, alrighty. That's what my friend said too but she told me to double check (: Thank you so much! This helps alot!!!
