Question

Given the following function, y = f(x), find the indicated values: f(0), f(-1), f(-3)

Answer 1

The problem is incomplete. What is the function f(x)?

Answer 2

just substitute that value for every x in the function. So if your funtion is 4x-3, then for f(-1) just put it as: 4(x)-3 = 4(-1)-3 = -4-3 = -7
f(-3) = 4(x)-3 = 4(-3)-3 = -12-3 = -15

Answer 3

here is the graph

Answer 4

sorry the first graph is to a different problem, the 2nd graph is right

Answer 5

ok
So you have to match up where the x coordinates are according to the y coordinates, so when f(0), that means your x=0, so when x=0, your y value is at y=-5

Answer 6

Unless they want you to make an equation out of the graph and then solve

Answer 7

When it asks for f(0) would it be -5 or (-3,1)
Im confused

Answer 8

oh ok so it would be the -5

Answer 9

Yes.

Answer 10

so for f(-1) it would be x=-7

Answer 11

yes :)

Answer 12

Find f(0) means what is the y value when x = 0

Answer 13

and f(-3) would be x=0

Answer 14

but
remember its y you are looking for not x

Answer 15

So your typing f(-3) is x=0, but it should be y=0

Answer 16

f(-3) means what is the y value when x = -3?

Answer 17

but actually when f(-3), then y=1

Answer 18

ok great I think I figured it...thank you guys so much

Answer 19

just remember that f(x)= means the same thing as y=

Answer 20

yea y=1 when f(-3)

Answer 21

Exactly !

Answer 22

cool great

Answer 23

that helped a lot

Answer 24

What do you get for f(-1)?

Answer 25

y=-7

Answer 26

You got it!

Answer 27

heehaw, lol

Answer 28

Yay good job :)

Answer 29

thanks again for the help, you all have a good one
