Math Problem Statement

The graph of y = f(x) is shown. What are all of the real solutions of f(x) = 0?

Solution

To find the real solutions of f(x)=0f(x) = 0, we need to determine the xx-values where the graph of y = fThe(x graph you've provided represents) the function \( y = \ f(x)), and the question crosses asks for the real or solutions to the touches equation f(x)=the0f(x) = the 0.

To find these solutions, x we look for the points where \ the graph intersects the)- xaxis,-axis as these, since points these represent where represent \( the f(x values) = of \( x0 \.

)Exam forining which f(x)=0f(x) = 0.

From the graph the:

  • The curve intersects the graph x:
  1. The-axis at approximately graph intersects the ( x \ three)- points. axis- at Based three points on: observation , these - Around points ( appear x = to be -6 \ around () x = - Around ( - x5 = \ -),2 \ () x - = Around x=2x =2, and x=74x = 7 4

Thus, the real solutions of f(x) = 0 \ are approximately: [ x = -6, \quad x = -2, \quad \text{and}).

Thus, the real solutions to f(x)=0f(x) = 0 are x=5x = -5, x =2x \ = 2, and x=7x = 7.
