Q:

Use the graph of f(x) to find the indicated function values.If x = 0, then f(0) = .If f(x) = 0, then x = .

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:If x=0 , then f(0)=2If f(x)=0 , then x = -1Step-by-step explanation:First lets assume that the y axis is called the ordinate axis and the x axis is the abscissa axisThen:The first question asks for the y value in the ordinate axis that corresponds to the x = 0 value. To begin:You must start to locate the x=0 value on the abscissa axis, its located in the center of the axis.Then you start for searching the y value that the curve takes when it passes through the ordinate axis, this correspond to the value of the function f(x) on x=0. The value according to the graph is y=2. Then , you located the point (0,f(0))=(0,2).The second question asks for the x value in the abscissa axis that corresponds to the f(x)=y=0 value. To begin this, you start the other way around:You must locate the y=0 value on the ordinate axis, its also located in the center of the axis.Then you start for searching the x value that the function needs to take the y=0 value. According to the graph the value of x that the function needs is x = -1Then, you located the point where f(x)=y=0, its (-1,0).An example is attached to the answer
