Given the piecewise function shown below, select all of the statements that are true. f(x)= {-3x, x<0; 4,x=0; x^2, x>0} A. f(3)=9 B. f(4)=0 C. f(2)=4 D. f(1)= -3

Respuesta :

The following statements are true.

f(3) = 9

f(2) = 4

we will proceed to calculate each case to determine the solution of the problem

case A [tex]f(3)=9[/tex]

For [tex]x=3[/tex]

[tex]x > 0[/tex]

so

[tex]f(x)=x^{2}[/tex]

substitute the value of x

[tex]f(3)=3^{2}=9[/tex]

[tex]9=9[/tex]

The statement case A is True

case B [tex]f(4)=0[/tex]

For [tex]x=4[/tex]

[tex]x > 0[/tex]

so

[tex]f(x)=x^{2}[/tex]

substitute the value of x

[tex]f(4)=4^{2}=16[/tex]

[tex]16\neq0[/tex]

The statement case B is False

case C [tex]f(2)=4[/tex]

For [tex]x=2[/tex]

[tex]x > 0[/tex]

so

[tex]f(x)=x^{2}[/tex]

substitute the value of x

[tex]f(2)=2^{2}=4[/tex]

[tex]4=4[/tex]

The statement case C is True

case D [tex]f(1)=-3[/tex]

For [tex]x=1[/tex]

[tex]x > 0[/tex]

so

[tex]f(x)=x^{2}[/tex]

substitute the value of x

[tex]f(1)=1^{2}=1[/tex]

[tex]1\neq-3[/tex]

The statement case D is False
