Transcribed Image Text:**Hotspot Label**
The piecewise function \( y = g(x) \) is given in the graph below.
Fill in the blanks to complete the function that is represented by the graph.
- Press each hotspot.
- Label the corresponding number below with the requested value.
![The image presents a step function graph and its corresponding piecewise function notation. Here's the transcribed and detailed explanation:
### Graph Description
The graph is a step function plotted on a coordinate plane. The x-axis is labeled from 0 to 8, and the y-axis from 0 to 16. The function has four distinct segments:
1. From \( x = 0 \) to \( x = 2 \), the function value is constant at 3. The line segment starts with a closed circle at \( (0, 3) \) and ends with an open circle at \( (2, 3) \).
2. From \( x = 2 \) to \( x = 4 \), the function value is 7. A closed circle is at \( (2, 7) \) and an open circle at \( (4, 7) \).
3. From \( x = 4 \) to \( x = 6 \), the function value is 11, starting with a closed circle at \( (4, 11) \) and ending with an open circle at \( (6, 11) \).
4. From \( x = 6 \) to \( x = 8 \), the function value is 15, indicated by a closed circle at \( (6, 15) \) and an open circle at \( (8, 15) \).
### Piecewise Function Notation
The step function \( g(x) \) is defined as follows:
\[
g(x) =
\begin{cases}
3, & \text{if } 0 \leq x < 2 \\
7, & \text{if } 2 \leq x < 4 \\
11, & \text{if } 4 \leq x < 6 \\
15, & \text{if } 6 \leq x < 8 \\
\end{cases}
\]
This function notation describes how the value of \( g(x) \) changes over different intervals on the x-axis. Each interval has a constant y-value, creating a series of horizontal steps.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F7f062f01-7927-42d8-a532-98c25b9083d2%2F9959dffb-bc8d-4f80-9807-09d64dd2db36%2F8bvb41g_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
