Question

The function of g(x) is defined as shown. what is the value of g(0)?

Answer 1

g(0) = -1

Explanation:

g(x) = 3x -2

g(0) = 3(0) -2 = -2

-2 is not in the range of x values -4, -3

g(x) = -x -1

g(0) = -(0) -1 = -1

-1 is the x values of -2, -1, 0

6 is not in the values of 1, 2, 3

Therefore, g(0) = -1 in -x -1 is true

Answer 2

Answer: g(0) = -1

Explanation:

To solve this question, first we need to see where the value of 0 falls in this piecewise function. We know that 0 is in between -2 and 1, so we will use the "-x-1" portion to help us solve. We will substitute 0 for x into the equation and simplify.

g(x) = - x - 1

g(0) = - 0 - 1

g(0) = -1
