If f: ℝ → ℝ is given by f(x) = 3x − 2 for x < 4 and f(x) = x² − 10 for x ≥ 4, what is f(4)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 6

A piecewise-defined function uses the rule whose condition includes the given input. At x = 4, the first rule 3x − 2 cannot be used because it applies only when x < 4. The second rule applies when x ≥ 4, and it includes 4. Therefore f(4) = 4² − 10 = 16 − 10 = 6. The value approached from the left would be 3(4) − 2 = 10, but that does not determine f(4), because the first branch excludes the boundary. The second branch explicitly assigns the value at 4. Hence option A is correct. Option B is the left-hand expression evaluated at 4, not the function’s actual assigned value; option C results from an incorrect calculation or rule choice, and option D is false because the second branch defines the function at x = 4.
