Question

Refer to the following piecewise function.

f(-2) = 
f(0) = 
f(1) =

The image presents a piecewise function defined as follows:

\[ 
f(x) = 
\begin{cases} 
3x, & \text{if } x \leq 0 \\
2, & \text{if } x > 0 
\end{cases} 
\]

Explanation:

- For values of \( x \) that are less than or equal to 0, the function \( f(x) \) is defined by the expression \( 3x \).
- For values of \( x \) that are greater than 0, the function \( f(x) \) is constant and equal to 2. 

This type of function is called a piecewise function because it is defined by different expressions or constants over different intervals of the domain.
