Question

Graph g(x)= 2x+8 if x<-2
. 5-2x if -2 is less than or greater than x < 3
-2 if x is greater than or less than 3

I have to graph this and I have no idea?! Please help!!

Answer 1

Of course you have some idea. Surely you can graph

y = 2x+8

Draw that line, but stop at x=-2

Then between x = -2 and x=3, draw the graph of

y = 5-2x

Then for x beyond 3, draw the graph of

y = -2.

Just take it slowly and do one step at a time.
