it's fully defined, so closed?

#

I think it means the function is defined for all values of x

tidal ridge Sep 17, 2023, 4:38 AM

#

there exists a y value at the origin so it’s closed?

#

0 if x=0?

#

why is there a hole at x=-1?

tidal ridge Sep 17, 2023, 6:28 PM

#

I don’t see why that causes a hole

#

x=-1 is defined

#

2(-1)=-2

#

holes only exist if you like try to divide by 0 or something

#

or other reasons

#

mostly just {x>3} and {x<3} without an {x=3}

#

yes

#

however that isn’t the case here

#

the -3x line stops when $x\geq 3$

#

not 3

#

2

#

except the origin does not have a hole

#

remember holes only exist at the ends of the functions and when you divide by 0

#

that’s about it

#

well why do you think it’s correct

#

justify it

#

This isn’ta trick question I just want you to be confident in your choices

#

indeed

#

good!

#

first try graphing the quadratic

#

then cut it off at x=1

#

then graph the other line

#

it’s not linear

tidal ridge Sep 17, 2023, 7:46 PM

#

check your y intercept for -x+5

#

good you caught it tho

#

yea it’s continuous

#

actually idk what the word continuous actually means

#

I assume it means it’s connected

#

well does x extend to infinity and stuff
