Which piece wise function is graphed below

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is how to approach the problem:

We see that all our restrictions for all four answer choices are relatively the same with a couple of changes here and there.
One way to eliminate choices would be to look at which restrictions don't match the graph.

At x<-5, there is a linear function that does have a -2 slope and will intersect the x axis at -7. The line ends with an open circle, so any answer choice with a linear restriction of x less than or equal to -5 is wrong. This cancels out choices C and D.

Now we have two choices left.

For the quadratic in the middle, the vertex is at (-2,6) and the vertex is a maximum, meaning our graph needs to have a negative sign in front of the highest degree term. In our case, none of our quadratics left are in standard form, and instead are in vertex form.

Vertext form is f(x) = a(x-h)^2 + k.

h being the x-coordinate of the vertex and k being the y-coordinate.

We know that the opposite of h will be the actual x-coordinate of the vertex, so if our vertex is -2, we will see x+2 inside the parenthesis. This leaves option A as the only correct choice.

total of apples - take away four

6-4 = 2

answer is 2 apples

it can be to see completed examples before writing, in order to examine what makes for an effective piece. see how these intros give some context before posing the topic and lead naturally into the body paragraphs, where the evidence will be listed. you can imagine how the author has organized the rest of the piece.

"we buried my cousin last summer. he was 32 when he hanged himself from a closet coat rack in the throes of alcoholism, the fourth of my blood relatives to die prematurely from this deadly disease. if america issued drinking licenses, those four men—including my father, who died at 54 of liver failure—might be alive today. that is a good example piece   some steps that are .

. writing something that happened to you

.read a book you like to get ideas from there

. lastly you can make a venn diagram

hope this plz make brainliest
