Answer 1

so do you see on the right side where it has those inequalities

which one of those does 0 belong in?

x < 0
\(0 \le x \le 3\)
\( 3 \le x\)

if x is 0, which one of those would replacing x with 0 make it true

Answer 2

im sorry can you explain in another ay

Answer 3

sure so

basically this "function" that we have has different rules depending on the x-value

so if x is LESS THAN 0, then the graph would look like -x-2

if when is GREATER THAN OR EQUAL to 0 and LESS THAN 3 then the graph looks like x

and when x is GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 3 then the graph looks like x^2 - 1

Answer 4

does that make sense?

so which one of them would be the graph when x is 0

would it be when x is LESS THAN 0

or when x is GREATER THAN OR EQUAL to 0

Answer 5

i meant to say eual to

Answer 6

we're talking about when x is 0

is this true 0 > 0

Answer 7

yeah!

Answer 8

so it's the second one

so when x is 0, it fits in the \( 0 \le x <3\)

and so the equation there is just x

so f(x) = x

so what is f(x) when x is 0

Answer 9

im not sure

Answer 10

so f(x) = x

basically when x = some number then the y-value is going to be the same number

so what is the y-value when x is 0?

Answer 11

0

Answer 12

so that's your answer!

Answer 13

thanks

Answer 14

no problem
