answer question 3

Answer question 3 from the given exercise.

Solution

To answer question 3, let's work step-by-step. Here's the question from the uploaded image:


3. The graph of a function ff is given:

(a) State the value of f(1)f(-1).
(b) Estimate the value of f(1)f(1).
(c) For what values of xx is f(x)=1f(x) = 1?
(d) Estimate the value of xx such that f(x)=0f(x) = 0.
(e) State the domain and range of ff.
(f) On what interval is ff increasing?


Let's analyze the graph and address each part:

(a) State the value of f(1)f(-1).

From the graph, find the yy-coordinate of the point where x=1x = -1. Based on the graph,
f(1)=2.f(-1) = 2.


(b) Estimate the value of f(1)f(1).

At x=1x = 1, locate the corresponding yy-value. From the graph,
f(1)0.f(1) \approx 0.


(c) For what values of xx is f(x)=1f(x) = 1?

To find where f(x)=1f(x) = 1, locate the xx-values where the graph crosses y=1y = 1. From the graph:
f(x)=1 at x=2 and x=2.f(x) = 1 \text{ at } x = -2 \text{ and } x = 2.


(d) Estimate the value of xx such that f(x)=0f(x) = 0.

To find where f(x)=0f(x) = 0, locate the xx-values where the graph crosses the xx-axis. From the graph:
f(x)=0 at x1.5 and x0.5.f(x) = 0 \text{ at } x \approx 1.5 \text{ and } x \approx -0.5.


(e) State the domain and range of ff.

Domain:

The domain includes all possible xx-values covered by the graph. From the graph,
Domain: [3,3].\text{Domain: } [-3, 3].

Range:

The range includes all possible yy-values the graph takes. From the graph,
Range: [1,2].\text{Range: } [-1, 2].


(f) On what interval is ff increasing?

To determine where ff is increasing, find the intervals of xx where the graph slopes upwards. From the graph:
f(x) is increasing on [2,0].f(x) \text{ is increasing on } [-2, 0].


Final Answer:

(a) f(1)=2f(-1) = 2
(b) f(1)0f(1) \approx 0
(c) f(x)=1f(x) = 1 at x=2x = -2 and x=2x = 2
(d) f(x)=0f(x) = 0 at x1.5x \approx 1.5 and x0.5x \approx -0.5
(e) Domain: [3,3][-3, 3], Range: [1,2][-1, 2]
(f) ff is increasing on [2,0][-2, 0].
