  1. Do not ping the Moderators, unless someone is breaking the rules.
  2. Do not ping the Helper Moderators, unless there is a conflict between helpers.
  3. Do not ping other members randomly for help.
  4. Ask your question and show the work you've done so far. If you've posted a screenshot of a question, specify which part you need help with.
  5. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
  6. If the Helper has answered your question, remember to thank them with the Mathematics Ranks bot and close the thread with:

i dont get the question to try tbh

sacred moth
#

...do you know how to read a graph?

strange depot
#

yeah

#

:))

sacred moth
#

So then "find f(0)" should be pretty straightforward.

strange depot
#

what does that mean

#

like i know x and y and how to read it

#

what does f stand for

sacred moth
#

It literally says "the diagram shows the graph of y = f(x)".

strange depot
#

so y is x??

#

wait up

#

these are the answers btw, i really appreciate you helping <33

sacred moth
strange depot
#

right

sacred moth
#

Okay, let's back up.

strange depot
#

right so heres where i need help

sacred moth
#

A curve is a set of points (x, y).

strange depot
#

the fucntion is an inequality

sacred moth
#

When you say y = f(x), what you're saying is that the curve is the set of points (x, f(x)).

strange depot
sacred moth
strange depot
#

rightttt

#

ur a genius 😮

#

but then how is part a 5 still??

#

://

sacred moth
#

...because, like I said, the curve is the set of points (x, f(x)), so if the question wants you to find f(0), where do you need to look?

strange depot
#

right so y is zero

#

-3.5

#

but broski for x it says −3.5 ≤ x ≤ 1.5

#

so whats x

sacred moth
#

I'll say it again.

strange depot
#

yes pls

sacred moth
#

The curve is the set of points (x, f(x)). You want to find f(0).

strange depot
#

um so what i understand is that you know that f is f(0)

sacred moth
#

No.

sacred moth
#

When is f(x) = f(0)?

strange depot
#

x is zero

#

WAIT OMG

#

THATS IT

sacred moth
#

Right. The set of points (x, f(x)), therefore containing the point (0, f(0)).

strange depot
#

but still how is the answer 5 mate

#

y = f(x) for −3.5 ≤ x ≤ 1.5

i.e., $f(x)$ exists only for $-3.5\leq x\leq 1.5$

#

and x=0 is within that domain, so it is satisfied.

#

and i assume you need help with part b?

#

hint: ||consider drawing a horizontal line at a random point and seeing whether it crosses the graph more than once||

sacred moth
#

You said you could read a graph.

sacred moth

focus.

strange depot
#
