Math Problem Statement

you are given a graph of y = f(x) find f(-5)

Solution

To find f(5)f(-5), you need to refer to the graph of the function y=f(x)y = f(x).

  1. Locate x=5x = -5 on the horizontal axis (the x-axis).
  2. Find the corresponding value of yy (the vertical value) at that point.
  3. The value of yy when x=5x = -5 is f(5)f(-5).

Without the actual graph, I can't determine the value of f(5)f(-5), but the process above outlines how you would find it using the graph.

Do you have any additional details about the graph, or would you like to upload it?


Here are 5 related questions you might find useful:

  1. How do you interpret f(a)f(a) for any value aa from a graph?
  2. What are the steps to find the maximum or minimum of f(x)f(x) from its graph?
  3. How would you find the x-intercepts and y-intercepts of f(x)f(x) using its graph?
  4. How can you determine if a function is increasing or decreasing from its graph?
  5. What is the relationship between the slope of a graph and the derivative f(x)f'(x)?

Tip: When reading graphs, always double-check the scales on both axes to ensure you're reading the correct values.
