piecewise functions

[cbradford0015]

please show me the steps in solving this function:
f(x)={x^2 where x is equal to or less than 0 and 3x+1 where 0<x and x is less than or equal to 2 and x-5 where x>2}

Hello, cbradford0015!

Please show me the steps in solving this function:

. . \(\displaystyle f(x)\;=\; \left\{\begin{array}{cccc}x^2 && x \le 0 \\ 3x+1 && 0<x \le 2 \\ x-5 && x>2 \right\)

I'd like to help . . . but what do you mean by "solve this function"?
