Math Problem Statement

Use the graph below to fill in the missing values: f(0), f(x) = 0, x = ?, f^{-1}(0), f^{-1}(x) = 0, x = ?

Solution

Based on the graph provided, let us analyze the functions and fill in the missing values.

Step-by-step Explanation:

  1. f(0)f(0): To find f(0)f(0), locate where x=0x = 0 on the graph and check the corresponding yy-value. From the graph, when x=0x = 0, f(x)=4f(x) = 4.

    f(0)=4f(0) = 4

  2. f(x)=0,x=f(x) = 0, x =: To find when f(x)=0f(x) = 0, look at the x-coordinate where the graph crosses the x-axis. From the graph, this occurs when x=4x = 4.

    f(x)=0,x=4f(x) = 0, x = 4

  3. f1(0)f^{-1}(0): The inverse f1(x)f^{-1}(x) swaps the roles of xx and yy. To find f1(0)f^{-1}(0), check where f(x)=0f(x) = 0 (this is equivalent to when x=4x = 4 in the original function).

    f1(0)=4f^{-1}(0) = 4

  4. f1(x)=0,x=f^{-1}(x) = 0, x =: To find when the inverse of f(x)f(x) equals 0, check where x=0x = 0 in the original function. From the graph, this corresponds to f(0)=4f(0) = 4. Swapping xx and yy, the inverse function is 0 when x=4x = 4.

    f1(x)=0,x=0f^{-1}(x) = 0, x = 0

Final Answers:

  1. f(0)=4f(0) = 4
  2. f(x)=0,x=4f(x) = 0, x = 4
  3. f1(0)=4f^{-1}(0) = 4
  4. f1(x)=0,x=0f^{-1}(x) = 0, x = 0

Let me know if you'd like further explanation or clarification! Here are some related questions for exploration:


  1. What is the slope of the function f(x)f(x) based on the graph?
  2. How can you verify your answers for f1(x)f^{-1}(x) using algebra?
  3. What does the inverse function geometrically represent on the graph?
  4. Can you write an equation for f(x)f(x) using the points provided?
  5. How would the graph of f1(x)f^{-1}(x) look in comparison to f(x)f(x)?

Tip: When working with inverses, remember they are reflections across the line y=xy = x. This can help visualize relationships between f(x)f(x) and f1(x)f^{-1}(x).
