Evaluate the function at_____.

Question

Consider the following piecewise-defined function.

f(x){ -x^2-2x-3 if x< -3

-1/3x -8. if x ≥ 3

Step 1 of 3: 

Evaluate this function at x=−1. Express your answer as an integer or simplified fraction. If the function is undefined at the given value, indicate "Undefined".

Step 2 of 3: 

Evaluate this function at x=3. Express your answer as an integer or simplified fraction. If the function is undefined at the given value, indicate "Undefined".

Step 3 of 3: 

Evaluate this function at x=−5. Express your answer as an integer or simplified fraction. If the function is undefined at the given value, indicate "Undefined".

Answer 1

At x = -1, f(x) is undefined.

At x = 3, f(x) = - 1 - 8 = (-1/9) - 8 You must simplify further.

3(3)

At x = -5, f(x) = -(-5)²-2(-5)-3. you must simplify further.
