Which graph represents the following piecewise defined function? f of x equals enlarged left-brace first row x comma x less than negative 2. Second row negative 2 comma negative 2 less than or equal to x less than 1. Third row x minus 3 comma x greater than or equal to 1.
Answer
A
Image with description On a coordinate plane, the scale on the x and y axes ranges from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. The graph is comprised of 3 lines. The first line starts from the open circle at (negative 2 comma 0) and goes to (negative 4 comma negative 2). The second line starts from the closed circle at (negative 2 comma negative 2) and goes to the open circle (1 comma negative 2). The Third line starts from the closed circle at (1 comma 2) and goes to (4 comma 3).
B
Image with description On a coordinate plane, the scale on the x and y axes ranges from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. The graph comprises of 3 lines. The first line starts from the closed circle at (negative 2 comma negative 2) and goes to (negative 4 comma negative 4). The second line starts from the closed circle at (negative 2 comma negative 2) and goes to the open circle (1 comma 1). The Third line starts from the closed circle at (1 comma negative 1) and goes to (3 comma 3).
C

The first line starts from a closed circle at (negative 2 comma negative 2) and goes to (negative 4 comma negative 4). The second line starts from a closed circle at (negative 2 comma negative 2) and goes to closed circle (1 comma negative 2). The Third line starts from a closed circle at (1 comma negative 2) and goes to (4 comma 1).
