Answer :

g(x) = 6 - x for x = 3 and above.
Therefore, g(3) = 6 - 3 = 3

Answer:

3


Step-by-step explanation:

This is a piece-wise function. The domain [x-values] is broken down into parts.

To evaluate this type of functions, we see in WHICH PART of the DOMAIN does the questions ask to look for.

The question asks for [tex]g(3)[/tex] , the value of the function at  [tex]x=3[/tex]

In which of the 3 parts does  [tex]x=3[/tex]  fall into?


The domain condition,  [tex]x\geq3[/tex]  , in the last part tells us that it is GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 3. So  [tex]x=3[/tex]  falls in this part of the function, which is  [tex]6-x[/tex]

We can simply substitute 3 in [tex]x[/tex] of that part and get our desired answer. So,

[tex]6-x\\6-(3)\\3[/tex]

The value of [tex]g(3)=3[/tex]
