Answer

$\text{(a) }40$ $\text{(b) }88$ $\text{(c) }-40$ $\text{(d) }(40,\infty)$ $\text{(e) }(-\infty,88]$ $\text{(f) }(-40,88)$

Work Step by Step

Use the given figure, we have: (a) For $f(x)=50$, we can identify $x=40$ (b) For $f(x)=80$, we can identify $x=88$ (c) For $f(x)=0$, we can identify $x=-40$ (d) For $f(x)\gt50$, we have $x\gt 40$ or $(40,\infty)$ (e) For $f(x)\le80$, we have $x\le 88$ or $(-\infty,88]$ (f) For $0\lt f(x)\lt80$, we have $-40\lt x\lt 88$ or $(-40,88)$
