Answer 1

Answer:

$f(x)=\begin{cases}x+3\text{ }x{<0} \\ {3}\text{ }x\ge0\end{cases}$

Explanations:

The given graph is made of 2 lines including a horizontal line.This functions are referred to as piecewise function

The given horizontal line will be expressed as y = b where b is the y-intercept of the line. Since the horizontal line pass through the coordinate (0, 3), hence the equation of the horizontal line is y = 3

For the other function, we will find the equation of a line passing through the coordinates (-3, 0) and (-2, 1)

Find the slope

$\begin{gathered} Slope=\frac{1-0}{-2-(-3)} \\ Slope=\frac{1}{-2+3} \\ Slope=1 \end{gathered}$

The y-intercept is (0, 3). The equation of the other line will be y = x + 3

The piecewise function represented by the graph is given as:

$f(x)=\begin{cases}x+3\text{ }x{<0} \\ {3}\text{ }x\ge0\end{cases}$
