Math Problem Statement

The original question submitted by the user involves determining values of a function f(x), including y-intercepts, x-intercepts, domain, and range.

Solution

The image shows a set of mathematical questions, with a mix of correct and incorrect responses on a computer interface. Let's address the incorrect response and clarify what might have gone wrong.

The error occurs in Part 6 of 8, which asks to:

  • (f) Determine the y-intercept(s) of f(x)f(x).

Your answer was given as (0,0)(0, 0), but the system shows the correct answer is (0,3)(0, -3). The y-intercept is where the function crosses the y-axis, which happens when x=0x = 0. So, the correct value of f(0)f(0) is 3-3, not 0. This is likely based on the function rule of f(x)f(x), which was not fully visible in the image.

The rest of your responses are correct:

  • You found the correct values for f(4)f(-4), f(3)f(3), the zeros of f(x)f(x), and the x-intercepts.
  • The domain is correctly given as (,)(-\infty, \infty), which means the function is defined for all real numbers.

Do you need further clarification or a breakdown of any specific part?

Here are five related questions to deepen understanding:

  1. What is the general method to find the y-intercept of a function?
  2. How can you verify the zeros of a function using a graph or algebraically?
  3. How does the range of a function relate to its graph?
  4. Can a function have more than one y-intercept? Why or why not?
  5. What changes in the domain of a function would restrict its range?

Tip: Always substitute x=0x = 0 to find the y-intercept, ensuring accuracy when evaluating f(0)f(0).
