Question

Consider the following piecewise-defined function. $f(x) = \begin{cases} x - 5 & \text{if } x < 3\\ -3x - 6 & \text{if } x \ge 3 \end{cases}$ Step 3 of 3: Evaluate this function at $x = -1$. Express your answer as an integer or simplified fraction. If the function is undefined at the given value, indicate "Undefined". Answer f(-1) = \text{O Undefined}

00:01 This question is giving me a piecewise function.
00:02 So it's saying f of x equals and it's 4x plus 1 if x is less than negative 4.
00:11 And it would be negative 3 fourth x minus 5 if x is greater than equal to negative 4.
00:18 And we want to find out we're evaluating the function when x is 0.
00:25 So we want to see which one i'm going to plug into...
