I'm looking for the same answer. If you have found any solutions, please share them with me!!
The function is applicable within the segments of x:
(-∞, -1) and [-1, 7), meaning it is valid for x < 7.
Importantly,
the function cannot be evaluated at x = -1 in the left part of the linear graph, while it is valid at x = -1 in the right segment of the same line. Additionally, the function is not defined at x = 7 or any value above it.
Conclusion: x < 7.
8.25 inches after multiplying the 3/4 by 2, and adding that to the previous 3/4, gives you the final height of the plant.
