Math Problem Statement
Find the value of h(2) from the given graph below.
Solution
From the graph provided, we need to determine the value of .
Step-by-step solution:
- Locate on the horizontal axis.
- Trace vertically at to find the corresponding value of (on the vertical axis).
- At , the graph shows an open circle at , which indicates that is not defined at 1.
- However, moving further, the graph dips to at , represented by a filled point. This indicates that .
Final Answer:
Would you like more details or explanations? Here are some related questions to deepen understanding:
- What does an open circle on a graph represent in terms of function values?
- How can you identify the domain of a piecewise function from its graph?
- Why is the filled point at the valid value for ?
- How would the graph change if were instead defined at ?
- What is the importance of distinguishing open and closed circles in evaluating functions?
Tip: Always double-check for open and closed points when interpreting graphs of piecewise functions to avoid errors in determining function values.
