**Educational Exercise: Understanding Continuity and Transformations of Functions**

**1. Determine the intervals of each domain over which the function is continuous.**

*Explanation of Graph for Question 1:*
The graph appears to show a functional plot with an open circle at \(x = 1\). The y-axis ranges from -2 to 10, and the x-axis ranges from -3 to 3. The function seems discontinuous at \(x = 1\), as indicated by the open circle.

*Graph Description:* 
The graph depicts a function that starts at \((x, y) = (-3, -2)\), curves smoothly upwards, and continues without breaks or jumps until \(x = 1\), where there is an open circle indicating discontinuity.

**Answer:** ____________________________

**For #2, 3 Let \( f(x) \) = \(\begin{cases} 
x - 2 & \text{if } x < 3 \\
5 - x & \text{if } x \ge 3 
\end{cases} \)**

**2. Find \( f(3) \)**

**Answer:** ____________________________

**3. Find \( f(-5) \)**

**Answer:** ____________________________

---

**4. Compare each to \( y = |x| \). Choose the correct description for each equation.**

**A)** \( y = |x + 3| \)

a. A translation 3 units up.  
b. A translation 3 units down.  
c. A translation 3 units left.  
d. A translation 3 units right.

**Answer:** ____________________________

**B)** \( y = 2|x| \)

a. A vertical stretching by a factor of 2.  
b. A translation 2 units up.  
c. A vertical shrinking of a factor of 2.  
d. A translation 2 units down.

**Answer:** ____________________________

---

Please review the graph carefully and use your understanding of piecewise functions and transformations to complete the exercise.
