Given that f(x) = {x - 1; -3 < x < 0 {3x - 1; x >= 0 (a) Find the domain of the function. (b) Graph the function. (c) From the graph, find the range of the function. (d) Locate any intercepts.
Added by Domingo P.
Step 1
(b) To graph the function, we can plot the two parts separately. For x values between -3 and 0, the function is a line with slope 1 and y-intercept -1. For x values greater than or equal to 0, the function is a line with slope 3 and y-intercept -1/3. We can plot Show more…
