Question

Look at the graph below and answer the following.

Answer 1

Answer:

Part 1) The graph has three (3) x-intercepts and  has one (1) y-intercept

Part 2) The y-value of the minimum point is -3

Part 3) f(4)=3

Part 4) f(0)=3

Part 5) f(5)=1.5

Part 6) x=-6

Part 7) The horizontal line y=-1 intersects the graph three times

Part 8) The value of the function for f(6) is equal to zero

Part 9) The function is increasing on the interval (-6,-2) and (8,11) and the function is decreasing on the interval (2,8)

Part 10) The function is positive on the interval (-3,6) and (10,11) and is negative on the interval (-6,-3) and (6,10)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Find the number of x-intercepts and y-intercepts of the graph

we know that

The x-intercepts are the values of x when the value of y (the function) is equal to zero

Look at the graph

The graph has 3 x-intercepts

The x-intercepts are the points (-3,0), (6,0) and (10,0)

The y-intercepts are the values of y when the value of x is equal to zero

Look at the graph            

The graph has 1 y-intercept

The y-intercept is the point (0,3)

Part 2) The y value of the minimum point on the graph is?

we know that

Look at the picture

The minimum point is (-6,-3)

therefore

The y-value of the minimum point is -3

Part 3)  f(4) is equal to?

we know that

f(4) is the value of the function when the value of x is equal to 4

Look at the graph

For x=4

The value of the function is equal to y=3

therefore

f(4)=3

Part 4) f(0) is equal to?

we know that

f(0) is the value of the function when the value of x is equal to 0

Look at the graph

For x=0

The value of the function is equal to y=3

therefore

f(0)=3

Part 5) f(5) is equal to?

we know that

f(5) is the value of the function when the value of x is equal to 5

Look at the graph

For x=5

The value of the function is about y=1.5  (see the attached figure)

therefore

f(5)=1.5

Part 6) The value of x when f(x)= -3 is?

Look at the graph

we have the point (-6,-3)

when the value of f(x)=-3

the value of x is equal to x=-6

Part 7) The horizontal line y = -1 intersects the graph _____ times?

Look at the graph

The horizontal line y=-1 intersects the graph three times (see the attached figure)

Part 8) f(6) is positive or negative?

Look at the graph

we have the point (6,0)

For x=6

The value of the function is equal to zero

Part 9) Is the graph increasing or decreasing on the interval -6?

Look at the graph

The function is increasing on the interval (-6,-2) and (8,11) and the function is decreasing on the interval (2,8)

Part 10) Is the graph positive or negative on the interval 6

Look at the graph

The function is positive (f(x) > 0) on the interval (-3,6) and (10,11) and is negative (f(x) < 0) on the interval (-6,-3) and (6,10)
