Math Problem Statement
Use the graph of the function f to find values of f(-14), f(-4), f(12), f(0), and determine if f(4) is positive or negative.
Solution
The image provided displays a graph of the function and a series of questions regarding the function's values at specific points. Let's break down and confirm the steps:
Part (a): Find and
- From the graph:
Part (b): Find and
- From the graph:
Part (c): Is positive or negative?
- Looking at the graph at , we see that the function crosses the x-axis and is located below it. Therefore, is negative.
The correct response to (c) would be:
- is Negative.
Would you like more details on these calculations or have any additional questions?
Follow-up questions:
- What is the behavior of as approaches infinity?
- What are the x-intercepts of the function?
- How many turning points does the function have?
- At which points does the function achieve a local maximum or minimum?
- What is the symmetry of the function, if any?
Tip:
When interpreting graphs, always check for clear intersections with the x-axis, y-axis, and turning points for better understanding of function behavior.
