Math Problem Statement

Given the graph of f(x), evaluate f(4).

Solution

To evaluate f(4)f(4) from the given graph, you would need to locate x=4x = 4 on the horizontal axis and observe the corresponding yy-value of the function f(x)f(x) at this point. From the graph provided:

  1. At x=4x = 4, the green horizontal line segment corresponds to the function value. The yy-value remains constant along this segment.
  2. Observing the graph, f(4)=2f(4) = 2.

Thus, the value of f(4)f(4) is 2.

Do you want me to explain further or analyze the graph in detail? Here are some related questions to explore:

  1. What is the behavior of the function for other intervals of xx?
  2. What is the domain and range of the function f(x)f(x)?
  3. Can you explain the significance of the different line segments on the graph (red, green, blue)?
  4. How would f(x)f(x) change if additional transformations were applied?
  5. What are the points of discontinuity or sharp changes in the graph?

Tip: Always check for breaks or jumps in the graph to evaluate piecewise-defined functions accurately.
