Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the function. If y = f(x), find f(0). Select one: a. 3 b. -2 c. 2 d. -3.

Solution

The image you provided presents a graph of a function along with the task to evaluate f(0)f(0). Let’s go through the process of solving it step by step.

Problem:

The graph displays the function, and you are asked to find f(0)f(0), i.e., the value of the function at x=0x = 0.

Steps:

  1. To determine f(0)f(0), we look at the point on the graph where x=0x = 0.
  2. From the image, the point where x=0x = 0 corresponds to the y-coordinate of the function at that point.
  3. By checking the graph, it appears that the function passes through y=3y = 3 at x=0x = 0.

Answer:

Thus, f(0)=3f(0) = 3.

Would you like more details or have any further questions?

Follow-up Questions:

  1. How would you calculate f(x)f(x) for any other given xx value using the graph?
  2. What is the behavior of the function as xx \to \infty?
  3. How could you determine the zeros of the function (i.e., when f(x)=0f(x) = 0) from the graph?
  4. If you were given f(2)f(2), how would you find this using the graph?
  5. What transformations (shifts, stretches) can be observed in the function based on its shape?

Tip:

When analyzing functions graphically, always check the axes to ensure that you are interpreting the scale and values correctly!
