Question

The graph of y=f(x) is shown below. Find all values of x where f(x)=5

Answer 1

Answers: -6 and -4

=======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the drawing below. Locate 5 on the y axis. Draw a horizontal line extending as far as you can to the left and right.

This horizontal line crosses the parabola in two locations. From those two locations, drop a vertical line straight down until you reach the x axis. You should reach x = -4 and x = -6

This shows that f(-4) = 5 and f(-6) = 5.

Phrased another way: the points (-4,5) and (-6,5) are on the parabola.
