Answer

4\text{4}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Identify the correct interval for x=1x=1.

    The given piecewise function is:

    f(x)={−2x−2if x≤−52x2+2xif −5<x≤534x−1if x>5f(x) = \begin{cases} -2x - 2 & \text{if } x \le -5 \\ 2x^2 + 2x & \text{if } -5 < x \le 5 \\ \frac{3}{4}x - 1 & \text{if } x > 5 \end{cases}

    For x=1x=1, we check which condition it satisfies:

    • 1≤−51 \le -5 is false.
    • −5<1≤5-5 < 1 \le 5 is true.
    • 1>51 > 5 is false. So, we use the second expression: f(x)=2x2+2xf(x) = 2x^2 + 2x.
  2. Substitute x=1x=1 into the chosen expression.

    f(1)=2(1)2+2(1)f(1) = 2(1)^2 + 2(1)
  3. Calculate the value.

    f(1)=2(1)+2(1)f(1)=2+2f(1)=4f(1) = 2(1) + 2(1) \\ f(1) = 2 + 2 \\ f(1) = 4

    The value of the function at x=1x=1 is 4\boxed{\text{4}}.
