I just want to know how to do one of them please (a, b, or c)

find the indicated function valuesI just want to know how to do one of them please a b or c class=

Respuesta :

a)   f(-10)

meaning x = -10

the first subfunction applies only below that, namely x < -10.

the second subfunction does contain -10 in it since -10 ⩽ x ⩽ 10, so we use that one then,
 
x = -10, thus x² is (-10)², or 100.



b)    f(10)

x = 10.

that will also be the second subfunction, since it's the one that contains 10, thus,

x = 10, x² is (10)² or 100.



c)  f(11)

x = 11.

well, is not the second subfunction, since its domain goes up to 10, x⩽10.

looking at the third subfunction, that includes 11, since x > 10, thus,

x = 11,

(11)² + 10

121 + 10

131.
