Question
 

Evaluate this function at x=6. Express your answer as an integer or simplified fraction. If the function is undefined at the given value, indicate "Undefined".

 
 

Selecting a radio button will replace the entered answer value(s) with the radio button value. If the radio button is not selected, the entered answer is used.

F(6)=  or Undefined
The function \( f(x) \) is defined piecewise as follows:

\[
f(x) = 
\begin{cases} 
-2x^2 + x - 4 & \text{if } x < 4 \\
\frac{1}{4}x + 3 & \text{if } x \geq 7 
\end{cases}
\]

This means that the function \( f(x) \) takes on different forms depending on the value of \( x \). For values of \( x \) less than 4, it is a quadratic expression given by \(-2x^2 + x - 4\). For values of \( x \) greater than or equal to 7, the function is linear, defined by \(\frac{1}{4}x + 3\). This piecewise definition does not specify the behavior of the function for values of \( x \) between 4 and 7.
