Math Problem Statement
If f(x)=−1, use the figure below to solve for x.
If f(x) = −1, use the figure below to solve for x.
Solution
To solve for when using the graph provided, follow these steps:
- The equation tells us that we are looking for the -coordinates where the graph intersects the line .
- Look at the graph and find the points where the graph intersects the horizontal line .
- The graph intersects at two points: and .
Thus, the solutions are and .
