Question

Refer to the following piecewise function.

f(-2) = 
f(0) = 
f(1) = 

The image shows a piecewise function \( f(x) \) defined as follows:

\[
f(x) = 
\begin{cases} 
x^2 + 2x + 1, & \text{if } x \leq -2 \\
1 - x^2, & \text{if } x > -2 
\end{cases}
\]

This function has two different expressions based on the value of \( x \). 

- For values of \( x \) less than or equal to -2, the function is defined by the quadratic expression \( x^2 + 2x + 1 \).
- For values of \( x \) greater than -2, the function is defined by the expression \( 1 - x^2 \).

The function evaluates differently depending on which interval the input \( x \) belongs to.
