Math Problem Statement
Using the graph of f(x) below, evaluate f(-2).
Solution
To evaluate using the graph:
- Locate on the horizontal axis (the -axis).
- Move vertically from to the curve of the function.
- From the point where the curve intersects, move horizontally to the -axis to read the corresponding -value.
From the graph, at , the corresponding -value is approximately . Therefore:
