What is the range for the piece wise function of 2x+4 where x ≥ 1 and
\n" ); document.write( "-x^2 where -3 ≤ x < 1?
\n" ); document.write( "I found that the domain is [-3,1], and points on the graph are (-3,-9),(-2,-4),(0,0),(1,6), and (2,8). However, because one of the pieces is quadratic, the -x^2
\n" ); document.write( "part of the function curves downward at 1 with an open circle at (1,-1).
\n" ); document.write( "I am unsure whether the range should be [-9,-1)∪[6,∞) or [-9,0]∪[6,∞).
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Note:: y = -x^2 is a parabola opening downward from (0,0)
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Ans:: [-9,0]U[6,oo)
