Use the graph of 𝑓 to determine the following.

The domain of 𝑓: functionsequation editor

The range of 𝑓: functionsequation editor

Note: Use INF or -INF for ∞ or βˆ’βˆž, respectively. Make sure your answer is in interval notation. Enter "{ }" without quotes if there is no solution (the empty set). Use the letter U for union. e.g., an answer of π‘₯<2 or π‘₯β‰₯6 should be entered as (-inf,2) U [6,inf), etc.

The zeros of 𝑓: {functionsequation editor }

𝑓(0)= functionsequation editor

The interval(s) on which 𝑓 is increasing: functionsequation editor

The interval(s) on which 𝑓 is decreasing: functionsequation editor

Note: Use INF or -INF for ∞ or βˆ’βˆž, respectively. Make sure your answer is in interval notation. Enter "NONE" without quotes if there are no intervals where the function is decreasing, increasing, or constant. Separate multiple intervals with a comma. e.g., if the function is decreasing on both (2,3) and (4,5), then your answer would be (2,3),(4,5).

Consider the function y=f(x) given in the graph. Use the graph of f to determine the following: - The domain of f. - The range of f. - The zeros of f. - f(0). - The interval(s) on which f is increasing and decreasing. - The values of x for which f(x)β‰₯0. - The relative minimum of f. - The value of x for which f(x)=-9. - Is f(-3) positive or negative?

Solution

Let's analyze the graph to answer the questions step-by-step.

1. Domain of ff:

The domain is the set of all possible xx-values for which the function is defined. Looking at the graph, we see that the function extends infinitely in both directions for xx. Therefore, the domain is: (βˆ’βˆž,∞)(-\infty, \infty)

2. Range of ff:

The range is the set of all possible yy-values. The function seems to go infinitely upwards as xx decreases and has a minimum point at y=βˆ’9y = -9. Therefore, the range is: [βˆ’9,∞)[-9, \infty)

3. Zeros of ff:

The zeros of the function are the points where the graph crosses the xx-axis. From the graph, this happens at x=βˆ’2x = -2 and x=4x = 4. Thus, the zeros are: {βˆ’2,4}\{-2, 4\}

4. f(0)f(0):

To find f(0)f(0), look at the value of the function when x=0x = 0. From the graph, f(0)=2f(0) = 2.

5. Intervals where ff is Increasing:

The function is increasing when its graph moves upwards as we move from left to right. From the graph, f(x)f(x) is increasing on two intervals: (βˆ’βˆž,βˆ’2),β€…β€Š(2,6)(-\infty, -2), \; (2, 6)

6. Intervals where ff is Decreasing:

The function is decreasing when its graph moves downwards as we move from left to right. From the graph, f(x)f(x) is decreasing on the interval: (βˆ’2,2)(-2, 2)

7. Values of xx for which f(x)β‰₯0f(x) \geq 0:

f(x)f(x) is non-negative (i.e., f(x)β‰₯0f(x) \geq 0) where the graph is on or above the xx-axis. This occurs in two intervals: (βˆ’βˆž,βˆ’2]βˆͺ[4,6](-\infty, -2] \cup [4, 6]

8. Number at which ff has a Relative Minimum:

The relative minimum is the lowest point on the graph within a certain interval. The graph shows a relative minimum at x=2x = 2.

9. Relative Minimum of ff:

The relative minimum value of f(x)f(x) at x=2x = 2 is βˆ’9-9.

10. Value of xx for which f(x)=βˆ’9f(x) = -9:

The function reaches βˆ’9-9 at x=2x = 2. So, the value of xx is: x=2x = 2

11. Is f(βˆ’3)f(-3) Positive or Negative?

At x=βˆ’3x = -3, the graph is above the xx-axis, which means f(βˆ’3)f(-3) is positive.

Answer: A. Positive
