Given the following piecewise function:
f(x) = {(x+4 for x < -3)
(-1 for -3 less than or equal to x <5)
(2x for x > 5)}
---------------------------
a. Find the domain.All Real Numbers except x = 5
-------------------------------
b. Find the range:::(-oo,1)U[10,+oo)
--------------------------------------
c. Find the intercepts.
x-intercept: (-4,0)
y-intercept: (0.-1)
---------------------------------------
d. Is f continous on its domain?:::No
----------------------------------------
If not, state where f discontinous.
Discontinuous at x = -3 and at x = 5
====================
e. Graph the function.
A piecewise function cannot be graphed on one set of axis on this site.
