Question

What does f(-1) =_
and x=_ ?

Answer 1

F(-1) = 1

x = 3

Explanation:

1) Assume that f(-1) = y1

So that point A (x1 = -1; y1) is a point lying in the graph representing the equation y = f(x)

As it can be seen in the figure, the graph representing that equation crosses point (-1; 1)

=> Point A has y1 = 1

=> f (-1) =1

2) Assume that f(x2) = -2

So that point B (x2; y2 = -2) is a point on the graphy representing the equation y = f(x)

As indicated in the figure, the graph crosses point (3; -2)

=> Point B has x2 = 3

=> When f(x) = -2, x = 3
