Solution

Let's analyze the graph in your image to determine the inverse function values f1(x)f^{-1}(x).

From the graph, we can find f1(x)f^{-1}(x) by interpreting it as finding the x-value that corresponds to a given y-value on the graph of f(x)f(x).

Here’s how to determine each:

  1. f1(4)f^{-1}(-4): Find the point on the graph where f(x)=4f(x) = -4. The corresponding x-value is f1(4)f^{-1}(-4).
  2. f1(3)f^{-1}(-3): Look for f(x)=3f(x) = -3, then find the corresponding x-value, which gives f1(3)f^{-1}(-3).
  3. f1(0)f^{-1}(0): When f(x)=0f(x) = 0, find the corresponding x-value to get f1(0)f^{-1}(0).
  4. f1(2)f^{-1}(2): For f(x)=2f(x) = 2, find the corresponding x-value, giving f1(2)f^{-1}(2).
  5. f1(4)f^{-1}(4): Locate where f(x)=4f(x) = 4, and find the corresponding x-value, resulting in f1(4)f^{-1}(4).

Let me inspect the graph closely and determine these values.I've opened the image to analyze the graph more closely. Let's now determine the values for the inverse function f1f^{-1}.

From the graph:

  1. f(x)=4f(x) = -4 corresponds to x=8x = -8, so f1(4)=8f^{-1}(-4) = -8.
  2. f(x)=3f(x) = -3 corresponds to x=6x = -6, so f1(3)=6f^{-1}(-3) = -6.
  3. f(x)=0f(x) = 0 corresponds to x=2x = -2, so f1(0)=2f^{-1}(0) = -2.
  4. f(x)=2f(x) = 2 corresponds to x=1x = 1, so f1(2)=1f^{-1}(2) = 1.
  5. f(x)=4f(x) = 4 corresponds to x=4x = 4, so f1(4)=4f^{-1}(4) = 4.

The answers are:

  • f1(4)=8f^{-1}(-4) = -8
  • f1(3)=6f^{-1}(-3) = -6
  • f1(0)=2f^{-1}(0) = -2
  • f1(2)=1f^{-1}(2) = 1
  • f1(4)=4f^{-1}(4) = 4
