Math Problem Statement

Solve f(x) = 4 using the provided graph.

Solution

The problem asks to solve f(x)=4f(x) = 4 using the given graph of the function f(x)f(x).

Looking at the graph, we need to find where the function f(x)f(x) equals 4. This occurs when the y-coordinate of the curve is 4.

To do this, let's look at where the horizontal line y=4y = 4 intersects the graph. From the graph:

  • The curve intersects the horizontal line at y=4y = 4 when x=1x = -1.

Thus, the solution to f(x)=4f(x) = 4 is: x=1x = -1

Would you like further details on this or have any other questions?

Here are 5 related questions:

  1. How can we determine the x-value for a different f(x)f(x) value, such as f(x)=3f(x) = 3?
  2. What type of function might this graph represent (e.g., exponential, quadratic)?
  3. How would the graph change if we shifted it up by 2 units?
  4. What does the slope of the curve represent in terms of rate of change?
  5. How could we solve f(x)=0f(x) = 0 using this graph?

Tip:

When solving graphically, always ensure you correctly identify the intersection points of the function with the desired y-value (in this case, 4).
