Question

graph the following function on the axes provided.

$f(x)=\

$$\begin{cases}x + 1&\\text{for}&-4

$

click and drag to make a line. click the line to delete it.
click on an endpoint of a line to change it.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the first part of the piece - wise function

For \(y = x + 1\) where \(-4\lt x\leq0\).
When \(x=-4\), \(y=-4 + 1=-3\) (but since \(x\gt - 4\), this is an open - circle). When \(x = 0\), \(y=0 + 1=1\) (closed - circle).

Step2: Analyze the second part of the piece - wise function

For \(y=-5\) where \(0\lt x\leq3\). When \(x = 0\), \(y=-5\) (open - circle) and when \(x = 3\), \(y=-5\) (closed - circle).

Answer:

To graph the function \(f(x)\):

  1. For \(y=x + 1\) (\(-4\lt x\leq0\)):
  • Plot an open - circle at the point \((-4,-3)\) and a closed - circle at the point \((0,1)\). Then draw a straight line connecting these two points (with the open - circle at \(x=-4\)).
  1. For \(y =-5\) (\(0\lt x\leq3\)):
  • Plot an open - circle at the point \((0,-5)\) and a closed - circle at the point \((3,-5)\). Then draw a horizontal line connecting these two points (with the open - circle at \(x = 0\)).
