PROBLEM

Find f(6)f(6) for the piecewise function: f(x)={2x if 2x3;4 if 3<x5}f(x)=\{2x \text{ if } -2 \leq x \leq 3; 4 \text{ if } 3<x \leq 5\}.

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The function f(x)f(x) is defined as a piecewise function, with two different rules for different ranges of xx.
. We need to evaluate f(6)f(6) and graph the function f(x)f(x).

STEP 2

We first need to determine which rule to use when evaluating f(6)f(6). To do this, we need to see which range x=6x =6 falls into.
The ranges given are 2x-2 \leq x \leq and <x5 < x \leq5.

STEP 3

We can see that x=6x =6 does not fall into either of the given ranges. Therefore, f(6)f(6) is undefined.

STEP 4

Now, let's move on to graphing the function f(x)f(x). The first part of the function is 2x2x for 2x3-2 \leq x \leq3. This is a straight line with a slope of2 and it includes the points where x=2x = -2 and x=3x =3.

STEP 5

The second part of the function is a constant 44 for 3<x53 < x \leq5. This is a horizontal line at y=4y =4, and it includes the point where x=5x =5 but does not include the point where x=3x =3 (since 3<x3 < x).

SOLUTION

Putting these two parts together, we can draw the graph of the function f(x)f(x).
