Question

Refer to the following piecewise function.

f(-2) = 
f(0) = 
f(1) = 

The image represents a piecewise function \( f(x) \), which is defined as follows:

\[ 
f(x) = 
  \begin{cases} 
   1, & \text{if } x \leq -1 \\
   x, & \text{if } -1 < x < 0 \\
   2 - x, & \text{if } x \geq 0 
  \end{cases} 
\]

This function specifies different expressions for \( f(x) \) depending on the interval in which the variable \( x \) falls:

1. For \( x \leq -1 \), the function \( f(x) \) is constant and equal to 1.
2. For \( -1 < x < 0 \), the function \( f(x) \) is linear and equal to \( x \).
3. For \( x \geq 0 \), the function \( f(x) \) is defined as \( 2 - x \), which is a linear function with a negative slope.
