Identify Part for x=−9: Identify which part of the piecewise function to use for x=−9.Since −9 is less than 3, we use the first part of the function: f(x)=31x+6.
Substitute x in f(x): Substitute x with −9 in the function f(x)=31x+6.f(−9)=31×(−9)+6.
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication 31×(−9).f(−9)=−3+6.
Add to Find f(−9): Add −3 to 6 to find the value of f(−9).f(−9)=3.
