SOLUTION: let f(x)=7 if x <_ -3 f(x)=x+1 if -3< x <_ 4 f(x)=-2 if x > 4 evaluate and graph f(-6) please explain

Question 187775: let f(x)=7 if x <_ -3
f(x)=x+1 if -3< x <_ 4
f(x)=-2 if x > 4
evaluate and graph f(-6)
please explain

Remember, f(-6) means that we want to find f(x) when x=-6

Since , this means that this x value falls in the first interval

This means that the function we'll use is

It turns out that no matter what x value we plug into , the result is ALWAYS 7

So f(-6)=7 which means that the point (-6,7) is on the graph.

Here's what the graph should look like:
