![### Piecewise Defined Functions and Graphical Representation
#### Problem Statement:
Evaluate \( f(-8) \), \( f(0) \), and \( f(7) \) for the piecewise defined function specified below:
\[ f(x) = \begin{cases}
x + 3 & \text{if } x < 0 \\
1 - x & \text{if } x \geq 0
\end{cases} \]
#### Function Values:
- \( f(-8) = \) ________
- \( f(0) = \) ________
- \( f(7) = \) ________
#### Graph of the Function:
Below are graphical representations of the piecewise defined function.
1. **First Graph:**
- \( x \)-axis ranges from \(-6\) to \(6\).
- \( y \)-axis ranges from \(-6\) to \(6\).
- The graph is composed of two line segments:
- For \( x < 0 \), the function \( f(x) = x + 3 \). This segment appears as a line with a positive slope starting from \(-6, -3\) and continuing through the point \(0, 3\) (excluding the point at \(x=0\)).
- For \( x \geq 0 \), the function \( f(x) = 1 - x \). This segment appears as a line with a negative slope starting from the open circle at \(0, 1\) and continuing through points like \(5, -4\) as \( x \) increases.
- There's a solid dot at the point \( (0, 1) \) indicating the function value at \( x = 0 \) within its domain.
2. **Second Graph:**
- Identical to the first graph in layout, scale, and line segments.
3. **Third Graph:**
- Identical to the first graph in layout, scale, and line segments.
4. **Fourth Graph:**
- Identical to the first graph in layout, scale, and line segments.
#### Graphical Explanation:
Each graph shown is the visual representation of the piecewise function \( f(x) \). The graph clearly illustrates the behavior of \( f \) around the critical point \( x = 0 \) where the definition of the function changes.
