Answer 1

Answers:

• first box = 0
• second box = 0
• third box = 4
• fourth box = -3

It's not a typo that 0 is written twice.

==============================================================

Explanation:

This is considered a step function because it resembles steps or a staircase. The vertical pieces aren't drawn to allow it to remain a function (or else it fails the vertical line test). Also there should be open holes at each left endpoint.

Recall that any horizontal line has a slope of 0 due to the fact that the rise is 0

slope = rise/run

The rise takes care of the vertical change in position. But if the line doesn't go up or down, then rise = 0 leads to slope = 0.

In short, the slope of each horizontal portion is 0. It doesn't matter which sub-section you focus on.

This is why you'll type 0 into the first two boxes.

------------------

As for the remaining two boxes, you'll be looking where the graph is the highest and the lowest to determine the max and min y values respectively.

We see that y peaks at y = 4 at the very top. So you'll type 4 into the third box.

Furthermore, we see that the lowest part of the graph is when y = -3. Therefore, this is the minimum aka smallest y value and you'll type -3 into the fourth box.
