Math Problem Statement
The graph of y = f(x) is shown below. Find all values of x where f(x) = 0.
Solution
The problem asks to find all values of where , which means finding the points where the graph intersects the -axis.
Looking at the graph, we see that the function intersects the -axis at two points:
- The first intersection occurs at .
- The second intersection occurs at .
Thus, the values of where are:

Here are 5 related questions you might explore:
- What happens to the function for values of less than -5 or greater than 2?
- How do you find the slope of the lines in this piecewise function?
- What is the domain and range of the given function?
- What is the significance of the function's behavior between and ?
- How do you identify the vertex of a piecewise linear graph like this one?
Tip: When solving for , you're essentially looking for the function's roots, which occur where the graph crosses the x-axis.
