Answer/step-by-step explanation:

The graph of f(x) above is said to be the quantity of liquid a cylinder holds when poured into it at a given time, x.

This means the quantity of the liquid poured in the cylinder is a function of time.

f(x) values (quantity of liquid) are plotted on the y-axis, while x values (time) are plotted on the x-axis.

f(3) is the value at the y-axis when x = 3. Thus, when x = 3, y = 6.

Therefore, the value of f(3) = 6

f(3) = 6, represents the quantity of liquid poured in the cylinder at 3 seconds.
