Step 1
Let's solve this step by step by analyzing the graph and the piecewise functions.

Step 2
: Examine the graph's characteristics

- The point of transition seems to be at the point $$(1, 3)
- At x = 1, the graph changes from one function to another

Final Answer

The correct answer is **D.** y = \begin{cases} x^3 - 2, & x \leq 1 \ x^2 + 4, & x > 1 \end{cases}
