Attaching question about graph. FINAL EXAM TOMORROW PLEASEE HELP

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Need to know how to do A and C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Also e, f, g, and h

OpenStudy (danjs):

ok, what is the value of f(x) where x=2

OpenStudy (danjs):

and the value of g(x) when x=4

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

You @brittlynn need to ask questions please :)

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

what is it about the questions you don't understand?

OpenStudy (danjs):

Part a) f(2)-g(4) = 0-(-2) = 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^ I see how you did that one

OpenStudy (danjs):

Part c) f(-1)/g(-1) = 3/1 = 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and I just dont know how to do them, or what they're asking really

OpenStudy (danjs):

y = f(x) = f(2) means when x is 2 what is the value of y

OpenStudy (danjs):

part e) Domain of a function is the range of possible x values in this case. x is the independent variable. In the graph of f(x) - the rage is x=-2 to x=4 The domain of f is the interval [-2,4]

OpenStudy (danjs):

If there were open circles at the end, the interval would not include the endpoints, so you would use (-2,4) parenthesis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is f -3?

OpenStudy (danjs):

f means function... y=f(x) means y is a function of x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i meant f like the problem sorry

OpenStudy (danjs):

Part f) on which intervals is g(x) decreasing? This means when is the slope negative. When does the y value decrease for increasing x values. answer: from x=-3 to x=+3

OpenStudy (danjs):

as you can see on the other 2 intervals (-infinity to -3) and (3 to +infinity) the slopes are positive and the function g(x) is INCREASing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that makes sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now just d, h and g. ha :( thank you so much though

OpenStudy (danjs):

oh no, MSU. haha i went to u of m... booo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hahaha what a coincidence. well I guess I can't say anything considering youre teaching me this stuff

OpenStudy (danjs):

Is this the actual final online? do you just need the answer? or actually learn how to do this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i actually need to learn how to do it, its a sample final

OpenStudy (danjs):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the relative max just where the graph is the highest point?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

@brittlynn what textbook are you using?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont have a textbook

OpenStudy (danjs):

part d) (f o g)(x) = (f o g)(2) = f(g(x)) Find g(2) then put that number into f(that number)

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

:O have checked out the Khan Academy videos on YouTube?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

never heard of them

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

They are fast paced, check it out.

OpenStudy (danjs):

part d) (f o g)(2) = f(g(2)) g(2) = -2 f(g(2))= f(-2) = 5

OpenStudy (danjs):

yeah khan academy is a good place to learn, i used that site for linear algebra and diff eq

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

He has an MBA from Harvard and knows how to talk fast.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

His BSc is from MIT in electrical engineering and he builds everything up from the basics.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I watched a minute or so, I like it

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

I'm not so sure it's a good idea to go there the night before a final exam, but you know know for next time :)
