Question

Be a kind soul and help me out please

Answer 1

Answer:3

Explanation:

In this case x=-1 so you will use the top equation because x<1

so f(-1) = -2(-1) + 1

= 2+1

=3

Answer 2

well, for the piece-wise function, we know that hmmm x = -1, -1 is less 1, so the subfunction that'd apply to that will be -2x + 1, because on that section "x is less than or equals to 1".

so f(-1) => -2(-1) + 1 => 3.
