**Question 16**

Consider the piece-wise defined function:

\[ f(x) = 
  \begin{cases} 
   2x - 1, & x < -1 \\
   3x + 1, & -1 \leq x \leq 2 \\
   4 - x, & x > 2 
  \end{cases} 
\]

- **f(0) =** [Choose]
- **f(-1) =** [Choose]
- **f(2) =** [Choose]
- **f(4) =** [Choose]
- **f(-2) =** [Choose]
- **f(5) =** [Choose]
- **f(-3) =** [Choose]

**Explanation:**
The function \( f(x) \) is defined with three different expressions based on the value of \( x \). Each expression applies to a specific interval:

- \( 2x - 1 \) is used when \( x \) is less than -1.
- \( 3x + 1 \) is used for \( x \) values in the range from -1 to 2, inclusive.
- \( 4 - x \) is used when \( x \) is greater than 2.

Evaluate the correct expression for each value of \( x \) and choose the appropriate result.
