PROBLEM
Find (a) , (b) , and (c) for the piecewise function defined as:
$$ f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}
x^{2} & \text { if } x<0 \\
0 & \text { if } x=0 \\
3 x+3 & \text { if } x>0
\end{array}\right.
$$
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The function is defined as a piecewise function with three different expressions for different ranges of .
. We need to find the values of for , , and .
STEP 2
We start by finding . Since is less than , we use the expression .
STEP 3
Calculate the value of .
STEP 4
Next, we find . Since is equal to , we use the expression .
STEP 5
Calculate the value of .
STEP 6
Finally, we find . Since is greater than , we use the expression .
SOLUTION
Calculate the value of .
So, , , and .
