| Question 157686:  Hi, can you please help, can you please help with this piecewise defined function
 .
 Piecewise defined function
 .
 f(x) = { x - 4,
  } .........{ 2x + 3,
  } .........{ 36,
  } .
 I think the domain is (
  ,  ) .
 I think the range is (
  ,  ] U (  ,  ] U {  } .
 Is this domain, and range right? Can you please confirm? Please use interval notation, just like what I used for the domain and range
 .
 Thanks ahead of time, Levi

      (Show Source): 
You can put this solution on YOUR website! f(x) = { x - 4,  } .........{ 2x + 3,
  } .........{ 36,
  } f is defined using three formulas for linear function, so graph all three of them
 graph first this linear function:
  , for  ...........since we have a restriction  , erase the part  the domain is (
  ,  ) 
 then graph this linear function:
  , for  ...........since we have a restriction  , erase the part from  to  and the part where  this graph will be a line segment from
  to  the domain is (
  ,  ) 
 then graph this linear function:
  , for  this is constant function, so it is define for [
  ) the domain is [
  )
