If \( f(x) \) is defined as follows, find (a) \( f(-1) \), (b) \( f(0) \), and (c) \( f(1) \) \( f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}x^{2} & \text { if } x<0 \\ 3 & \text { if } x=0 \\ 2 x+1 & \text { if } x>0\end{array}\right. \) (a) \( f(-1)=1 \) (Simplify your answer.) (b) \( f(0)=3 \) (Simplify your answer.) (c) \( f(1)=\square \) (Simplify your answer.)

(a) \( f(-1) = 1 \)
(b) \( f(0) = 3 \)
(c) \( f(1) = 3 \)
Solución
We are given the function:
f(x) = { x² if x < 0
3 if x = 0
2x + 1 if x > 0 }
(a) For f(-1):
Since -1 < 0, we use f(x) = x².
f(-1) = (-1)² = 1
(b) For f(0):
Since x = 0, we use the middle case.
f(0) = 3
(c) For f(1):
Since 1 > 0, we use f(x) = 2x + 1.
f(1) = 2(1) + 1 = 3
Thus, in simplified form:
(a) f(-1) = 1
(b) f(0) = 3
(c) f(1) = 3

Let's evaluate \( f(x) \) for the given values: (a) For \( f(-1) \), since \(-1 < 0\), we use the first piece of the function: \[ f(-1) = (-1)^2 = 1. \] (b) For \( f(0) \), since \( x = 0\), we use the second piece of the function: \[ f(0) = 3. \] (c) For \( f(1) \), since \( 1 > 0\), we use the third piece of the function: \[ f(1) = 2(1) + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3. \] So, \( f(-1) = 1 \), \( f(0) = 3 \), and \( f(1) = 3 \). In summary: - (a) \( f(-1) = 1 \) - (b) \( f(0) = 3 \) - (c) \( f(1) = 3 \)
