Step-by-step explanation:

Explaining the Basic Concept:

This is a piecewise function, which means that it is made up of several different functions which all have different domains

In this question, we have 3 'pieces' in our piecewise function

the domain of each piece is:

1.   x < -1

2.  -1 ≤ x ≤ 2

3.  x > 2

we will use the function related with the respective domain

Finding the values of the function:

h(-4)

Here, our input value is -4

we notice that -4 is in part of the first domain

therefore, -4 is in the domain of the first function

So, we will use the first function

h(x) = -(x/4) + 2           (for x < -1)

replacing x with -4

h(-4) = -(-4/4) + 2

h(-4) = 1 + 2

h(-4) = 3

h(1):

Here, our input value is 1

we notice that 1 is a part of the second domain

Hence, 1 is in the domain of the second function

So, we will use the second function

h(x) = -(x-1)² + 2            (for -1 ≤ x ≤ 2)

replacing x with 1

h(1) = -(1-1)² + 2

h(1) = -(0)² + 2

h(1) = 2

h(2):

Here, out input value is 2

We notice that 2 is a part of the second domain

Hence, 2 is a part of the domain of the second function

So, we will use the second function

h(x) = -(x-1)² + 2            (for -1 ≤ x ≤ 2)

replacing x with 2

h(2) = -(2-1)² + 2

h(2) = -(1)² + 2

h(2) = - 1 + 2

h(2) = 1

Therefore:

h(-4) = 3

h(1) = 2

h(2) = 1
