Math Problem Statement

use the graph

Use the graph of the function g shown to estimate g(3).

Solution

To estimate g(3)g(3) using the graph of the function g(x)g(x):

  1. Locate the point on the xx-axis where x=3x = 3.
  2. Trace vertically from x=3x = 3 until you reach the point on the graph that corresponds to this xx-value.
  3. Observe the yy-coordinate of this point to estimate g(3)g(3).

From the graph, at x=3x = 3, the yy-value appears to be around 1. This suggests that: g(3)1g(3) \approx 1

Would you like further details on this, or do you have any other questions?

Here are some related questions to deepen understanding:

  1. How would you find g(x)g(x) for values not clearly shown on the graph?
  2. What does the slope of each segment indicate about g(x)g(x)?
  3. How can you determine if g(x)g(x) is continuous at x=3x = 3?
  4. What would g(4)g(4) be, based on this graph?
  5. How can the domain and range of g(x)g(x) be determined from this graph?

Tip: Always check the behavior of the graph near the point of interest to ensure accurate estimations, especially if the function is piecewise or has discontinuities.
