Evaluate the function for the indicated values of x. function f(−10) = f(2) = f(−5) = f(−1) = f(8) =

f(−10)
To find f(-10) we choose a function that has x value -10
-10 <= -5 so we use f(x) = 2x + 1
Plug in -10 for x
f(-10) = 2(-10) +1 = -20 +1 = -19 So f(-10) = -19
Now find f(2)
2 lies between -5 and 5 so we use f(x) = x^2
f(x) [tex] = x^2 [/tex]
f(2) [tex] = 2^2 [/tex] = 4 . so f(2) = 4
f(−5)
-5 is equal to -5 so we use f(x) = 2x + 1
f(-5) = 2(-5) + 1 = -10 + 1 = -9
So f(-5) = -9
f(−1)
-1 lies between -5 and 5 so we use f(x)= [tex] x^2 [/tex]
f(-1)= [tex] (-1)^2 [/tex] = 1 so f(-1) = 1
f(8)
8 is greater than 5 so we use f(x) = 3 - x
f(8) = 3 - 8 = -5 so f(8) = -5
Evaluating the piecewise function using the appropriate function based on the given value of x ; the values of f(x) are :
1.)
For f(-10) ; x = - 10:
We use ;
f(x) = 2x + 1
f(-10) = 2(-10) + 1
f(-10) = - 20 + 1 = - 19
2.) For f(2) :
We use f(x) = x² ;
f(2) = 2² = 4
3.) for f(-5) :
We use f(x) = 2x + 1 ;
f(-5) = 2(-5) + 1
f(-5) = - 10 + 1 = - 9
4.) For f(-1) :
We use f(x) = x²
f(-1) = (-1)² = 1
5.) For f(8) :
We use f(x) = 3 - x
f(8) = 3 - 8 = - 5
Hence, the value of the given x values using the piecewise function.
