Math Problem Statement

Evaluate f(1) and solve f(x) = 1 based on the graph of the function.

Solution

In the image, we are given the graph of a function f(x)f(x) and asked to complete two tasks:

  1. Evaluate f(1)f(1): According to the provided answer, f(1)=2f(1) = 2, which seems correct based on the graph. At x=1x = 1, the graph crosses y=2y = 2, meaning that the value of the function at this point is 2.

  2. Solve f(x)=1f(x) = 1: To solve this, we need to find where the graph intersects the line y=1y = 1. By observing the graph, it appears that the function crosses y=1y = 1 at x=0x = 0. Therefore, the solution is: x=0x = 0

Let me know if you'd like more details on how to interpret graphs or solve function equations!

Here are five related questions:

  1. How would you interpret the slope of this function near x=0x = 0?
  2. Can the function f(x)f(x) be linear based on the graph?
  3. What would the equation of the tangent line at x=1x = 1 be if f(x)f(x) were differentiable?
  4. Is the function f(x)f(x) increasing or decreasing at x=1x = 1?
  5. What would f(x)f(x) equal if x=1x = -1?

Tip: When solving graph-based function problems, always check if the graph crosses or touches the target yy-value multiple times for different xx-values.
