Math Problem Statement

Using the figure below, fill in the table (note that all the answers are integers).

Solution

Let's analyze the graph of h(x)h(x) and match the values from the curve to fill in the table. The values of xx given in the table are 2,1,0,1,2,3-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, and we'll find their corresponding h(x)h(x) values using the graph.

Here’s the approach:

  1. Find h(x)h(x) at x=2x = -2: From the graph, it looks like the value is 0. This is already filled in the table.

  2. Find h(x)h(x) at x=1x = -1: From the graph, the value of h(x)h(x) when x=1x = -1 is 12. This is also filled in.

  3. Find h(x)h(x) at x=0x = 0: The value when x=0x = 0 is also 12, and this is already filled in as well.

  4. Find h(x)h(x) at x=1x = 1: When x=1x = 1, the graph shows the value of h(x)=4h(x) = 4.

  5. Find h(x)h(x) at x=2x = 2: At x=2x = 2, the value of h(x)h(x) is 0.

  6. Find h(x)h(x) at x=3x = 3: Finally, at x=3x = 3, h(x)h(x) reaches 8.

Completed Table:

\hline x & h(x) \\ \hline -2 & 0 \\ -1 & 12 \\ 0 & 12 \\ 1 & 4 \\ 2 & 0 \\ 3 & 8 \\ \hline \end{array}$$ Would you like more details on how I interpreted the graph? Here are 5 related questions to expand on this: 1. What is the general shape of the function $$h(x)$$ and how does it affect the slope between points? 2. What are the local maxima and minima of $$h(x)$$? 3. Can you calculate the average rate of change of $$h(x)$$ between $$x = -2$$ and $$x = 3$$? 4. How do you find the zeros of a function graphically and algebraically? 5. How does the concavity of the graph change over different intervals? **Tip**: Always check for symmetry in graphs as it can simplify calculations and understanding of the function's behavior.
