Since y equals the product of the factors, any value for x which makes any factor equal to zero is a point where the graph touches the x-axis.
x=-5 and 2 (technically the points (-5,0) and (2,0))
Answer:
Use the appropriate entry method for piecewise functions for the graphing calculator of interest.
Step-by-step explanation:
For Desmos, the entry looks like ...
f(x) = {x ≤ 2: -2x-1,-x+4}
_____
For a TI-84 calculator, the entry may look like ...
Y₁ = (-2X–1)(X≤2) + (-X+4)(X>2)
The symbols ≤ and > come from the TEST menu, which is the (2nd) shift of the MATH key.
Note that the function is the sum of the pieces, each piece multiplied by a test. For something like 0≤x<2, the multiplier would be a pair of tests:
... (0≤X)(X<2)
Answer:
f(4) = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
f left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals x squared minus 3 x plus 5
f(x) = x² - 3x + 5
f left parenthesis 4 right parenthesis equals
f(4) =
f(x) = x² - 3x + 5
When x = 4
f(4) = 4² - 3(4) + 5
= 16 - 12 + 5
= 9
f(4) = 9
