A pound is a unit of weight, not volume.
Good luck!
Answers:
f(-3) = -1
f(-1) = 2
f(3) = 5
======================================
Explanations:
Draw a vertical line through -3 on the x axis. Make sure this vertical line crosses the orange graph. Mark this point of intersection and then draw a horizontal line from this point to the y axis. You should find that it touches -1 on the y axis. Check out the attached image to see this process in action.
Those steps basically say that x = -3 leads to y = -1. Since y = f(x), this means f(-3) = -1
Through similar steps, you should find that f(-1) = 2 and f(3) = 5
Note that the open hole/circle does not count. So if you land on an open hole, just keep going until you hit a closed circle on the other piece of the graph.
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember the order of operations using PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right). So, you get 18 - 6 / 5-1 = 12/4 = 3
To calculate minimum value, do -b/2a to get the x-value, and plug it in to get the y-value:
-6/8 = -3/4

So the minimum value of g(x) is -81/4
This shows that g(x) has a lesser minimum value than f(x)
