Given the function f ( x ) = { 7 x − 7 x < 0 7 x − 14 x ≥ 0 Calculate the following values: f ( − 1 ) = f ( 0 ) = f ( 2 ) =

Answer:

From the piecewise function shown, we start by comparing the domain of values
a) f(-1)
This is less than zero, so we use the first equation
f(-1) : 7(-1) - 7 = -7-7 = -14
b) f(0)
This is greater than or equal to zero, we use the second function:
7(0) -14 = -14
c) f(2)
This is greater than 0, so we use the second function
We have it that:
f(2) = 7(2) - 14 = 14-14 = 0
