Math Problem Statement

5 Attempts out of 1 point 1 Question 14 14. Select all points that are on the graph f if we know that f(2)=−4 and f(5)=3.4 (−4,2) (2,−4) (3.4,5) (5,3.4) (2,5)

Solution

We are given the following information about the function ff:

  • f(2)=4f(2) = -4 (which means the point (2,4)(2, -4) is on the graph)
  • f(5)=3.4f(5) = 3.4 (which means the point (5,3.4)(5, 3.4) is on the graph)

Now, let's evaluate the options:

  1. (4,2)(-4, 2): This point is not correct because it reverses the coordinates. The correct point should be (2,4)(2, -4).
  2. (2,4)(2, -4): This point is correct because f(2)=4f(2) = -4.
  3. (3.4,5)(3.4, 5): This point is not correct because the first coordinate should be 5, not 3.4.
  4. (5,3.4)(5, 3.4): This point is correct because f(5)=3.4f(5) = 3.4.
  5. (2,5)(2, 5): This point is not correct because the second coordinate should be -4, not 5.

Correct answers:

  • (2,4)(2, -4)
  • (5,3.4)(5, 3.4)

Tip: When you’re given f(a)=bf(a) = b, the point (a,b)(a, b) always lies on the graph of the function.
