Write the function as a piecewise function. f(x) = 3x + |x|

OpenStudy (mertsj):

why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because i cant fail

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So not learning to do the problem is going to keep you from failing?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Oh...I get it....this is a test question and you just want an answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah ;)

OpenStudy (loser66):

@Mertsj give her the answer for her "yeah" hehe

OpenStudy (mertsj):

No way. She knew she was responsible to learn the material. She chose not to. So now it is consequences time. She posted it before and I had led her almost to the answer and she ran away. Then posted it again because all she wanted was for someone else to do the work.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Nothing. This generation is pampered and spoiled. They think they should be rewarded for just being alive. They have been told their entire lives how great everything they do is. They are the "everybody gets a trophy" generation so they don't think they should have to work at anything. How do you think we have such a bunch of nitwits in positions of responsibility and not performing. Even the president...President Passerby...I didn't know...I wasn't involved...I can't comment because there is an investigation.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

I'm deleting your answer @primeralph This person has said she is cheating on a test.

OpenStudy (primeralph):

oh, I didn't know @Mertsj .

OpenStudy (primeralph):

I'm sorry for posting that.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Read the first few posts.

OpenStudy (primeralph):

.........oh, I was wondering why no one could solve it..........

OpenStudy (mertsj):

People just chose not too.

OpenStudy (primeralph):

yeah, I get it now.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Good for you. You did have a good solution though.

OpenStudy (primeralph):

Thanks.

OpenStudy (zarkon):

here is my solution... \[f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}something, & x~somewhere \\ something~else, & x~somewhere~else\\ \end{array}\right.\]

OpenStudy (zarkon):

can I get my degree now?

OpenStudy (primeralph):

@Zarkon mind a liberal arts degree?

OpenStudy (zarkon):

maybe and honorary Ph.D?

OpenStudy (primeralph):

yep, you deserve them all.

OpenStudy (zarkon):

I know...I worked for like 30 seconds on that problem.
