Chapter 2 - Section 2.3 - Getting Information from the Graph of a Function - 2.3 Exercises - Page 179: 8

Answer

a. $g(-4)=3,$ $g(-2)=2,$ $g(0)=-2$ $g(2)=1$ $g(4)=0$ b. Domain: $[-3,4]$ Range: $[-2,3]$ c. $x = 4$ d. $[-1,2.8]$ e. $1$

Work Step by Step

a. $g(-4)=3,$ $g(-2)=2,$ $g(0)=-2$ $g(2)=1$ ... [solid dot on $(2,1)$] $g(4)=0$ b. Domain = $[-3,4]$ ... all x-values for which g is defined. Range = $[-2,3]$ ... all y-values that g(x) can attain. c. $g(x) = 3$ when $x = -4$; d. The graph is on or below the x-axis on the interval ( approximate borders): $[-1,2.8]$ e. Net change between $x=-1$ and $x=2$: $g(2)-g(-1)=1-0=1$
