Explanation Given Information: The given function is y = { x 3 + 2 if x < 1 x − 1 if x ≥ 1 . Graph: Rewrite the given function in the form of; y = f ( x ) = { x 3 + 2 if x < 1 x − 1 if x ≥ 1 Let y = f ( x ) = x 3 + 2 . …… (1) To graph the function, find the ordered pair to plot the graph. For x = 0 , substitute 0 for x in equation (1) and simplify. y = 0 3 + 2 = 0 + 2 = 2 Thus, the point is ( 0 , 2 ) . For x = − 1 , substitute − 1 for x in equation (1) and simplify. y = ( − 1 ) 3 + 2 = − 1 + 2 = 1 Thus, the point is ( − 1 , 1 ) . For x = − 2 , substitute − 2 for x in equation (1) and simplify. y = ( − 2 ) 3 + 2 = − 8 + 2 = − 6 Thus, the point is ( − 2 , − 6 )

Rose Par posted Apr 5, 2025 9:01 PM Subscribe To: Store Owner From: Rose Par, Manager Subject: Decision About Selling Custom Flower Bouquets Date: April 5, 2025 Our shop, which prides itself on selling handmade gifts and cultural items, has recently received inquiries from customers about the availability of fresh flower bouquets for special occasions. This has prompted me to consider whether we should introduce custom flower bouquets in our shop. We need to decide whether to start offering this new product. There are three options: provide a complete selection of custom bouquets for events like birthdays and anniversaries, start small with just a few ready-made flower arrangements, or do not add flowers. There are also three possible outcomes. First, we might see high demand, and the bouquets could sell quickly. Second, we might have medium demand, with a few sold each week. Third, there might be low demand, and the flowers may not sell well, possibly going to waste. These outcomes…
