Verified Answer :

Since we have a piecewise function, and our x = -4 (which is less than 3), we must use f(x) = x^2 - 5.

f(-4) = (-4)^2 - 5 = 16 - 5 = 11

f(-4) = 11

Results from f (-4) = 11

Further explanation

Set A to set B is said to be a function if each member of set A pairs is exactly one member of set B

So, one value of x is only assigned to one value of y, or one input for one output

A function can be expressed in the form of a diagram, the set of ordered pairs, or arrow diagrams

If y is a function of x, then y = f (x)

where x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable

x is the domain and y is the result area or range

There are several forms of function including:

• 1. linear function

• 2. quadratic function

• 3. trigonometric functions

• 4. polynomial function

• 5. fraction function etc.

A function can be write as ordered pair


Ordered pairs because we write the input first, and then the output


Can be described in form


(input, output)

or


(x, f (x))

 

For example a set of ordered pairs


(2,4), (3,5), (4,6)

input values ​​(as domain) 2,3,4


output values ​​(as range) 4,5,6.


Piecewise Functions: functions that have different equations based on the input (x) value

A function made up of 2 pieces:

  • 1.f (x) = x²-5, if x <3
  • 2.f (x) = 2x + 5, if x> 3


if we look for f (-4), then:

Because -4 is <3, so we use f (x) = x²-5, so

\(\rm f(−4)=(-4)^2-5\\\\f(-4)=16-5\\\\f(-4)=\boxed{11}}\)
