Graph each function. Identify the domain and range.
-3x if x <_ -4
f(x)= x if 0 < x <_ 3
8 if x > 3
Help!!!

how far did you get
OpenStudy (anonymous):
What do you mean?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How to answer these?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I really am desperate to learn this coz i really dnt know anything about graphing
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
this is a piecewise function, so you graph each piece to graph the overall piecewise function

Yeah i dont know. :(
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
how would you graph the first piece
how would you graph y = -3x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Thats what i dont know.
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
when x = 0, what is y?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Imreally need help on this one

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
I am helping,
y = -3x
y = -3*0 ... plug in x = 0
y = ???
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How couild i plug to 0 oh i get it on the left side? Or down?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
look it how I replaced x with 0
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
you then evaluate and simplify
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ill identifynthe domain and range first then ill do graphing but first i really dont understand what are u talking about

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
y = -3x
y = -3*0 ... plug in x = 0 (ie replace x with 0)
y = ???
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-3?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
-3 times 0 is equal to -3?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
0
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
yes, so when x = 0, y = 0

when x = 1, what is y?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
y = -3x
y = -3*1 ... plug in x = 1 (ie replace x with 1)
y = ???
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-3 plug graph?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
when x = 2, y = ???

2
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
no
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
use the equation we've been using
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
no, the equation is y = -3x and you replace or plug in x = 2

Then
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
plug it in and tell me what you get
OpenStudy (anonymous):
What do you mean what i get on the graph?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Cnan u draw i really cant i need to see an explanation
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
to graph y = -3x, plot the two points (0,0) and (1,-3)
then draw a line through them

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
each point is found by plugging in a number for x to get a corresponding number for y
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I dont have an idea to graph
OpenStudy (anonymous):
But i think i got it just help me with the domain and range
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
you're just plotting those points, then drawing a line through them
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How about domain and range

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what does your graph look like
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Just connecting the points and 0 to 0 just infnity
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
can you draw it out to show me what you got?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How will i draw a graph here?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I still have like 14 questions to answer. :(

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
use the draw button under the message box
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I'm using ipad i think there is no draw button.
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
really? hmm how odd
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
try scrolling down maybe?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
There is no draw button

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
alright
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
well the domain and range is found by looking at the graph
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
and determining which x values are allowed and which y values are possible
OpenStudy (anonymous):
0,0 -2,2?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-3 i mean

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
look at your graph, which x values are not allowed
OpenStudy (anonymous):
What do you mean are not allowed i dontnreally get it 😂
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
which values can you not plug in the function
OpenStudy (anonymous):
What?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what is the definition of domain

OpenStudy (anonymous):
All x values?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Get it!
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what about the x values
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How can i write the piecewise function can undraw for me an example with an answer

Inreally dont have future woth his one ill let this pass for now
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
have a look at that page a few times
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How about f(x)=[x]-6
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
and anything you need graphed, you can use geogebra to help you do it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I dnt have an idea how to answer that

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
well you just need a bunch of points, plug in values of x to get output y values
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
and is that supposed to be f(x) = |x|-6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay what points should i plug?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
any x values you want (keep them small preferably)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Whats my 6b

OpenStudy (anonymous):
Y i mean
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
6b?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
not sure what you're asking
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Inhave x value whats my y value
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what's your x value
Join the QuestionCove community and study together with friends!
Sign Up
OpenStudy (anonymous):
0.5
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
ok so replace x with that value
then evaluate
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok nevermindni really cant do this. Nex time
