Answer:
[tex]f(3) =-8[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]f(x) = 2x + 5; x<1[/tex]
[tex]f(x) =-3x + 1; x >1[/tex]
Required
Determine f(3)
f(3) implies that x = 3.
We make use of
[tex]f(x) =-3x + 1[/tex]
Because x >1 (i.e. 3 > 1)
Substitute 3 for x in f(x) =-3x + 1
[tex]f(3) =-3*3 + 1[/tex]
[tex]f(3) =-9 + 1[/tex]
[tex]f(3) =-8[/tex]
