Answer

a. $1$ b. $2$ c. $5$ d. $0$ e. $1$ f. $2$ g. $2$ h. $5$

Work Step by Step

a. $f(0)$ The order pair for the function is $=(x,f(x))$ Substitute $x=0$. $=(0,f(0))$ From the graph we have $=(0,1)$ Hence, the correct answer is $f(0)=1$. b. $f(1)$ The order pair for the function is $=(x,f(x))$ Substitute $x=1$. $=(1,f(1))$ From the graph we have $=(1,2)$ Hence, the correct answer is $f(1)=2$. c. $f(2)$ The order pair for the function is $=(x,f(x))$ Substitute $x=2$. $=(2,f(2))$ From the graph we have $=(2,5)$ Hence, the correct answer is $f(2)=5$. d. $f^{-1}(1)$ The order pair for the function is $=(x,f^{-1}(x))$ Substitute $x=1$. $=(1,f^{-1}(1))$ From the graph we have $=(1,0)$ Hence, the correct answer is $f^{-1}(1)=0$. e. $f^{-1}(2)$ The order pair for the function is $=(x,f^{-1}(x))$ Substitute $x=2$. $=(2,f^{-1}(2))$ From the graph we have $=(2,1)$ Hence, the correct answer is $f^{-1}(2)=1$. f. $f^{-1}(5)$ The order pair for the function is $=(x,f^{-1}(x))$ Substitute $x=5$. $=(5,f^{-1}(5))$ From the graph we have $=(5,2)$ Hence, the correct answer is $f^{-1}(5)=2$. g. $f^{-1}[f(2)]$ Substitute $f(2)=5$ $f^{-1}(5)$ The order pair for the function is $=(x,f^{-1}(x))$ Substitute $x=5$. $=(5,f^{-1}(5))$ From the graph we have $=(5,2)$ Hence, the correct answer is $f^{-1}(5)=2$. h. $f[f^{-1}(5)]$ Substitute $f^{-1}(5)=2$ $f(2)$ The order pair for the function is $=(x,f(x))$ Substitute $x=2$. $=(2,f(2))$ From the graph we have $=(2,5)$ Hence, the correct answer is $f(2)=5$.
