you can graph these functions individually right?

thick night you can graph these functions individually right?

Yes, these are piecewise functions

#

i know,

#

just graph each of the functions individually in their respective domain

just look at it this way (when x<=-2 then f(x) =-4, so when you graph, for the first situation y=-4 from x(-infinity;-2] other 2 are just linear so pick any two points from the given interval, plug it in the function, see what f(x) value you get and just make a line conecting those values, and extend it for the given domain

sorry its rough

#

oh wait its at -5

#

#

looks good, just that yeah you mapped it at -5

Yayyy

#

okay thank you so much!!!

#

when you work with piecewises just look at each of the bounds separately and f(x)=y
