Answer:

  f(-1) = 3

  f(5) = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

When evaluating a piecewise-defined function, the first step is to locate the argument value in the correct domain. Then the corresponding function is evaluated in the usual way.

__

For x=-1, the relevant piece is the one defined for x < 4:

  f(x) = x² +2

  f(-1) = (-1)² +2 = 3

__

For x=5, the relevant piece is the one defined for x > 4:

  f(x) = 2x +10

  f(5) = 2(5) +10 = 20

Additional comment

The function written in this problem statement is "undefined" at x=4, so the graph would ordinarily show a "hole" there. We're not sure whether that is intentional.
