For the piecewise function below, which of the following statments is true? someone me

Remark

Let's just figure out what f(1) and f(3) are and what equation to use.

f(1)

f(1) is defined by the top condition. Look at the condition carefully. -3 ≤ x ≤ 1

So the value of f(1) is

(x + 1)² -1

(1 + 1)² - 1

2² - 1

4 - 1 = 3

f(3)

f(3)  is governed by the middle condition. 1 < x ≤ 3

The value of f(3) is  - x + 2 = - 3 + 2 = - 1

Conclusion

f(1) > f(3)

Comment

Both f(1) and f(3) are defined. You just have to look around to find out where. D is wrong.

We calculated both f(1) and f(3). f(1) is larger than f(3)  so that is your answer.
