Math Problem Statement

The plot below represents the function f(x). Evaluate f(1) and solve f(x) = 1.

Solution

Let's analyze the graph and solve the given questions.

  1. Evaluate f(1)f(1):

    • To find f(1)f(1), we need to look at the value of the function f(x)f(x) when x=1x = 1.
    • From the graph, locate x=1x = 1 on the x-axis, then find the corresponding yy-value on the curve.
    • It looks like f(1)=2f(1) = 2.
  2. Solve f(x)=1f(x) = 1:

    • To find xx when f(x)=1f(x) = 1, we need to find the xx-value(s) where the function intersects the line y=1y = 1.
    • From the graph, trace the horizontal line y=1y = 1 and see where it intersects the curve.
    • The intersections appear to be at x=2x = 2 and x=3x = 3.

So, we have:

  • f(1)=2f(1) = 2
  • f(x)=1f(x) = 1 at x=2x = 2 and x=3x = 3.

Would you like any further details or explanations? Here are some related questions for further exploration:

  1. What is the value of f(2)f(-2)?
  2. Determine the x-intercept of the function.
  3. Find the value of xx when f(x)=4f(x) = 4.
  4. Identify the range of the function from the graph.
  5. How does the function behave as xx approaches 5?

Tip: Always double-check the graph to ensure you are reading the values correctly, as visual approximations can sometimes be misleading.
