Evaluate the piece wise function at x=-4 and x=4.

x = -4, so use the first equation, x^2 = -4^2 = -16

x = 4, use 3rd equation, sqrt(x) = sqrt(4) = 2

a = 11 : 4

b = 38

c = 1 for every 6

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3

the system of inequalities is
