To analyze the piecewise function given, we have:
\[ f(x) = \begin{cases} -x + 1 & \text{if } x < 0 \ 0 & \text{if } 0 \leq x \end{cases} \]
- For \(x < 0\), we only consider the line given by the equation \(-x + 1\). At \(x = 0\), this function evaluates to \(f(0) = -0 + 1 = 1\). Since \(x = 0\) is not included in this part of the piecewise function, we must represent this point as an open dot at \((0, 1)\).
- For \(0 \leq x\), the function is defined as \(f(x) = 0\), which includes the point at \((0, 0)\) as a closed dot.
Now we can analyze the options provided:
- Option #1: The graph should have a closed dot at (0, 1) — This is incorrect since \(f(0)\) is not defined to be 1 for \(0 \leq x\).
- Option #2: The graph should have an open dot at (0, -2) — This is also incorrect since \(f(0) = 0\) and not \(-2\).
- Option #3: The point at (0, -2) should be an arrow to the left — This does not pertain to the given graph or the function definition.
- Option #4: The point at (-2, 3) should be an arrow to the left — There’s no part of the graph that defines this point.
Focusing on the main requirements at \(x=0\), the main error critical to note is the representation of the point (0, 1). Given that we expect an open dot at (0,1), the closest correct option is actually Option #2 in affirming the value at \( f(0) \).
Thus, the most accurate description of the error is:
Option #2: The graph should have an open dot at (0, -2).
However, it does not match our earlier interpretations. Therefore, none of these options may accurately describe the graph error if assessed strictly against the function definitions provided. The penned error lies more in the misgraphing of \(f(0) = 0\) that needs accuracy on placement rather than matching to listed options directly.
