So for this question, we're asked to evaluate the function at a specified value of the independent variable, which is x.
00:07
So the first thing that we want to look at is what's in this parentheses, right? so f of negative two, the negative two, the one, and the four correspond to x values.
00:16
So negative two, we have to see which part it really fits into.
00:23
So negative two, we have the first one x is less than zero.
00:26
So negative two is less than zero.
00:27
So we're going to go ahead and use that first equation for this part of the question.
00:31
So we get that negative 2, we replace x with the negative 2, right? so we get negative 2 plus 2, that equals 0.
00:39
Now for f of 1, in that case, it's going to go for the second equation because 1 is between 0 and 2...
