Question

Consider the function below h(x) given in the following graph. Enter the corresponding function value in each answer space below. 1. H(-1) = 2. H(1) =

Answer 1

First, we identify the points:

`\begin{gathered} P_1=(-1,H(-1)) \\ P_2=(1,H(1)) \end{gathered}`

On the graph:

Looking at the points, we can see that P₁ is one unit down the x-axis, so we can say that its y-coordinate is -1. Then:

`H(-1)=-1`

On the other hand, P₂ lies directly on the x-axis, so we can say that its y-coordinate is 0. Then:

`H(1)=0`
