D. f(–2) = 3

The piecewise function fx is defined below What is the value of f2 A f2 6 B f2 4 C f2 0 D f2 3 class=

Respuesta :

[tex]f(-2)=3[/tex], because [tex]f(x)=3[/tex] for [tex]-2\leq x\ \textless \ 0[/tex]

Answer:

D. [tex]f(-2)=3[/tex]

Step by step explanation:

We have been given a piece wise function:

[tex]f{x}=\left\{\begin{matrix}-x^{2}; &x< -2 \\3;&-2\leq x< 0\\x+2; & x\geq 0\end{matrix}\right[/tex]

We are asked to find value of f(-2).

In our piece function when we will input values of x less than -2([tex]x<-2[/tex]) , it will give us output as [tex]-x^{2}[/tex]

For values greater than or equal to 0 our function will give output as x+2.

We can see from our piece wise function that when x is greater than or equal to -2 and less than 0 our function gives a constant output, that is 3.

Therefore, [tex]f(-2)=3[/tex] and option D is the correct choice.
