The Graph of a Piecewise-Defined Function Is Given $f ( x ) = \left\{ \begin{array} { l l } x + 1 & \text { if } 0 \leq x \leq 3 \\ \frac { 1 } { 2 } x & \text { if } 3 < x \leq 5 \end{array} \right.$

question 9

Multiple Choice

The graph of a piecewise-defined function is given. Write a definition for the function.
-

• A) \(f ( x ) = \left\{ \begin{array} { l l } x + 1 & \text { if } 0 \leq x \leq 3 \\ \frac { 1 } { 2 } x & \text { if } 3 < x \leq 5 \end{array} \right.\)
• B) \(f ( x ) = \left\{ \begin{array} { l l } x + 1 & \text { if } 0 \leq x \leq 3 \\ \frac { 1 } { 2 } x + \frac { 1 } { 2 } & \text { if } 3 < x \leq 5 \end{array} \right.\)
• C) \(f ( x ) = \left\{ \begin{array} { l l } x + 1 & \text { if } 0 \leq x \leq 3 \\ \frac { 1 } { 2 } x + 2 & \text { if } 3 < x \leq 5 \end{array} \right.\)
• D) \(f ( x ) = \left\{ \begin{array} { l l } x + 1 & \text { if } 0 \leq x \leq 3 \\ \frac { 1 } { 2 } x - \frac { 1 } { 2 } & \text { if } 3 < x \leq 5 \end{array} \right.\)

Definitions:

Connective Tissue

A type of tissue within the body that supports, binds together or separates other tissues and organs, varying in density and function.

Smooth Muscles

Involuntary muscles found in the walls of internal organs and blood vessels, controlling movements within the body's systems.

Skeletal Muscles

Skeletal muscles are voluntary muscles attached to bones by tendons, responsible for movement of the body by contraction.

Lever Systems

Mechanisms in the body that utilize bones to create movements through the application of force against a fulcrum.
