The Attempt at a Solution
[/B]
I was able to get that g(-8) = 0 because plugging -8 into the upper limit and meant x was less than -1 and gave me with f(t) equaling 0 and the anti derivative of 0 is 0. Now i got g(-4) = 5 because the antiderivative of 5 is 5x and plugging in -4 → x and -5→x got me 5. However when i do the same for c and i get -15 by plugging in 0 to x making the f(t) = -3 . The last 0 i thought the anti derivative of 0 is 0 but it doesn't take either of those answers. I need guidence.
