Josy pose la question :
The question I have now in front of me is....Is a 4-digit number always less than a 5-digit number?
Hi Josy,
The digits in order are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. Thus the largest four digit number is 9999. The smallet 5 digit number is 10000.

f(x) = x-4 if x<2 |

Dani pose la question :
Hi, my name is Dani. I'm in tenth grade Algebra 2, and I'm learning about a lot of different kinds of functions, and I can't quite seem to understand how every part of the piecewise function works. I understand most of it, I think, but I've been looking at an example in my math book, and I'm not sure how they got the answer they did. The part I don't understand reads: "Graph f(x) = x-4 if x<2" and "Identify the domain and range." The picture in the book shows an open circle at (2,-2), with an arrow going down and to the left with the slope being one. How did they get the open circle to be at (2,-2), and why does the arrow point where it does?
