Math Problem Statement

If the graph represents the curve of the function y = f(x), what is the value of f(2)?

Solution

The graph provided in the image shows a curve representing the function y=f(x)y = f(x). You are asked to find the value of f(2)f(2) based on the graph.

To solve this:

  1. Locate x=2x = 2 on the horizontal axis.
  2. From x=2x = 2, trace vertically upwards to where it intersects the curve.
  3. Check the corresponding yy-value where the curve and the vertical line meet.

From the graph, when x=2x = 2, the curve intersects at y=4y = 4. Therefore: f(2)=4f(2) = 4

Thus, the correct answer is C: 4.

Here are 5 related questions for further practice:

  1. What is f(1)f(1) based on the graph?
  2. What type of function could represent the curve (e.g., quadratic, cubic)?
  3. If f(x)=ax2+bx+cf(x) = ax^2 + bx + c, how can we determine the values of aa, bb, and cc?
  4. How does the behavior of the function change as xx increases beyond 3?
  5. How can you determine the slope of the curve at x=2x = 2?

Tip: When analyzing graphs, always ensure to carefully check the exact values of the intersections with the axes for precise calculations.
