Answers:
f(-3) = -1
f(-1) = 2
f(3) = 5
======================================
Explanations:
Draw a vertical line through -3 on the x axis. Make sure this vertical line crosses the orange graph. Mark this point of intersection and then draw a horizontal line from this point to the y axis. You should find that it touches -1 on the y axis. Check out the attached image to see this process in action.
Those steps basically say that x = -3 leads to y = -1. Since y = f(x), this means f(-3) = -1
Through similar steps, you should find that f(-1) = 2 and f(3) = 5
Note that the open hole/circle does not count. So if you land on an open hole, just keep going until you hit a closed circle on the other piece of the graph.
