i have to find the output for the negative in the frist row and the out put for non-negative in the second. find the indicated function values.
the problem

       [6x - 1 if x < 0
f(x) = [
       [7x + 3 if x > 0

Here is the graph of this:



The line below the x-axis is the graph of the output for
negative values of x, and the line above the x-axis is 
the graph of the output for the non-negative values of x.

Notice that there is an open circle at the right end of
the lower part of the graph [at (0,-1)] and a closed 
circle at the left end of the upper graph [at (0,3). These
indicate that the graph does not include the point (0,-1)
where the open circle is located, but does include the
closed circle (0,3) where the closed circle is located.
