Concept explainers
The function represented by the graph.
Answer to Problem 5GP
Explanation of Solution
Given:
From the graph the intercepts that can be interpreted are:
x-intercept: The graph cuts the x- axis at about (0.5,0). This means the x-intercept is about 0.5.
y-intercept: The graph cuts the y- axis at about (0,-2). This means the y-intercept is about -2.
Formula Used:
The basic form of equation of line with a andb as x and y intercepts respectively is:
Calculation:
Hence, substituting the values of the intercepts,
Hence,
Calculation for graph:
Consider
Values of x | Values of g(x) |
0 | -2 |
1 | 2 |
-1 | -6 |
2 | 6 |
-2 | -10 |
Using the above table the graph can be plotted.
Graph:
Comparison:
Let the two graphs be compared side by side:
(iii
Interpretation:
After comparing the graph, it can be said that they are same.
Conclusion:
Hence the required function is:
