Since x = 0 < 1, f(x) will be y = x2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Substitute x with 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why not?

geerky42 (geerky42):

For \(x\le1,~~\)you have \(f(\mathbf{\color{red}{x}}) = \mathbf{\color{red}{x}}^2\) So \(f(\mathbf{\color{red}{0}}) = (\mathbf{\color{red}{0}})^2 = \cdots~?\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No no. Since x = 0, you don't have to care about the case that x>1.

geerky42 (geerky42):

Because \(x = 0\), you will just go to case where \(x\le1\), because it is true that \(0\le1\) In case \(x\le1\), you have \(f(x) = x^2\). Substitute x with 0 here. then you can evaluate \(f(0)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This function is divided into two cases. 1- When x > 1, then y = 2x +1. You won't care about y = x^2 when x > 1. 2- When x<=1, then y = x^2. At this time, you won't care about y = 2x + 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exactly.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. The answer is 0.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can do it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First, you draw the function y = x^2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then you will erase the right side of the graph from x = 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Instead, you will draw the function y = 2x + 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is weird that the function is non-continuous. But this is how it looks anyway.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1411706364424:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually, the left-side of the graph will be y = x^2 while the right-side will be y = 2x + 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, they are positive: 3 and 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is exactly how it looks like.
