Let
\[f(x) = \begin{cases} x^2+9 &\text{if }x<-5, \\ 3x-8&\text{if }x\ge-5. \end{cases} \]
If $f(x)=10$, find the sum of all possible values of x.
How do I react when I see 'asap', or 'it is an emergency' etc ??
I delay any answer I may ever give. Your question is no more important than anyone else's.
In fact, if a member, who has made a good impression, asks a question, it has far greater importance than yours.
yes. asap=emergency
'asap' means you are being demanding and slightly rude.
We are here to teach, not to give you instant answers so that you can cheat and/or go off and do whatever else you want to do.
