Questions: g(x)=-3x-3 for x ≠ 0
-1 for x=0
g(0)=
g(7)=
g(-3)=
Transcript text: 10. \(g(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}-3 x-3 & \text { for } x \neq 0 \\ -1 & \text { for } x=0\end{array}\right.\)
\(g(0)=\)
\(g(7)=\)
\(g(-3)=\)
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Evaluate \( g(0) \)
The function \( g(x) \) is defined as:
\[
g(x) = \begin{cases}
-3x - 3 & \text{for } x \neq 0, \\
-1 & \text{for } x = 0.
\end{cases}
\]
Since \( x = 0 \), we use the second case of the function definition:
\[
g(0) = -1.
\]
Step 2: Evaluate \( g(7) \)
For \( x = 7 \), which is not equal to 0, we use the first case of the function definition:
\[
g(7) = -3(7) - 3 = -21 - 3 = -24.
\]
Step 3: Evaluate \( g(-3) \)
For \( x = -3 \), which is not equal to 0, we again use the first case of the function definition:
\[
g(-3) = -3(-3) - 3 = 9 - 3 = 6.
