So im stuck on this question. i have no idea where to begin, somebody please help? 1. Draw the graph of the function f (x) = 2 * ⌈x⌉ for the domain -2 < x ≤ 1 Help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Start with some axes on graph paper. Your domain is from -2 to 1 so that's where your x axis has to go from. Then you plug each x value down the line into your function and draw where it is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But remember to make a hole at -2 because although the domain goes to 2, it doesn't equal 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh okay :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry. -2. argh.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do i plug in to get the slope? :o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know the slope-intercept form?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

noo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=mx+b Everything you need is right there in your original equation. (Remember f(x)=y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

m is the slope.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so down 2 over 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The slope is the number in front of your x.
