What is the value of the function when x = −2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sparrow2

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Do you see the line where x=-2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

So, what is the value of y of the dot on that line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Hm, are you looking at -2 or 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Where x is -2, the only dot I see is (-2,3)

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

And the value of the function is the y value.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so -3

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Why -3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the y & x points?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

No, when x is -2, y is 3. So the value of the function when x is -2 is 3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i kinda understand but not fully

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Ok, try another one. What is the value of the function when x=-1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

How did you get that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay wait say if if X=1 would that be 3 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

What is the point on the graph with an x value of -1? Like (-1, ?)

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Let's work on making sure you understand the idea on the first one before moving on.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

It's not 2, 3, or -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

What point do you see with an x coordinate of -1 on the graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Yep :-D

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

What about the value of the function when x=0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Check again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Yep, great! Is it making more sense now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

:-) Ok, what is the question for the next graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait so this is -2 ?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Yes, when x=0, y=-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the value of the function when x = 1?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Ok, what do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Hm, no, that is when x=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Yep, great!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you think you could me With More Please ?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The graph shows Samuel’s weight from birth until he was 10 years old. Based on the graph, about how many pounds did Samuel weigh when he was 7 years old? A. 46 lb B. 52 lb C. 58 lb D. 61 lb

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Ok, what do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

52?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Yep, perfect :-D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i Passed :)

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Good job. :-)
