A portion of the graph of the function f is shown above. If f(x + 3) = f(x) for all values of x , then f(x) = 0 for how many different values of x between 0 and 122?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In between 0 and 3 there are two values of x such that f(x)=0 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Areesha.1D ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sauravshakya I have absolutely no clue!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Look at the graph... it crosses x-axis twice in between 0 and 3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sauravshakya right...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sauravshakya soooo the answer is 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now, the graph of y=f(x) from x=3 to x=6 is same as y=f(x) from x=0 to x=3 as f(x+3)=f(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know why this isn't making any sense to me. :3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the graph of y=f(x) from x=3 to x=6 is same as y=f(x) from x=0 to x=3 as f(x+3)=f(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u didnt get this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How?? Nope. Im having like an extreme mindblock or something.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WAIT gotcha!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

GREAT

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yesss it is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, there are 2*40 different values of x in between 0 and 120

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Riiiiiight.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since there is one value of x which is between 0 and 2 So, there must one value of x which is between 120 and 122

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thus, there are 81 different values of x between 0 and 122

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, except between 0 and 2? what value? 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we dont the value of x... but we do know that there is one value of x for which f(x)=0 LOOK AT THE GRAPH

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhh omg im sorry i didn't have the graph open

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sauravshakya Got it. Thanks!! I just didn't understand how to use the graph :3 what topic of math is this? I need to review it!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I guess function and relation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Functions and their graphs yeah... @sauravshakya thanks!
