Math Problem Statement

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

Solution

Let's analyze the problem from the image:

You are given a plot of the function f(x)f(x), and you need to:

  1. Evaluate f(1)f(1).
  2. Solve f(x)=1f(x) = 1, i.e., find the value of xx when f(x)=1f(x) = 1.

Step 1: Evaluate f(1)f(1)

Looking at the graph, find the point where x=1x = 1 and check the corresponding yy-value (which is f(1)f(1)). It appears that at x=1x = 1, the function reaches f(1)=4f(1) = 4.

So, f(1)=4f(1) = 4.

Step 2: Solve f(x)=1f(x) = 1

Now, find where the function equals 1, i.e., look for the value of xx such that f(x)=1f(x) = 1. By inspecting the graph, it looks like f(x)=1f(x) = 1 occurs at x=4x = 4.

So, the solution to f(x)=1f(x) = 1 is x=4x = 4.

Summary:

  • f(1)=4f(1) = 4
  • f(x)=1f(x) = 1 when x=4x = 4

Would you like more details or explanations? Here are some questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. What type of function could the graph represent (e.g., exponential, logarithmic)?
  2. How would you solve f(x)=0f(x) = 0 using the graph?
  3. What is the domain and range of this function based on the graph?
  4. Can you describe the behavior of the function as xx \to \infty?
  5. How would you find f(1)f'(1) if you were asked to compute the derivative?

Tip: When analyzing a graph, always check the behavior at key points like x=0x = 0 and large values of xx.
