e. h(-4)=13

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

a)  h(1) = 2

b)  h(3) = -4

c)  x = 0

d)  h(-1) = -2

e)  h(-4) = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Part (a)

h(1) is the y-value when x = 1.

Find x = 1 on the x-axis. Trace vertically up until you meet the curve.  Trace horizontally left until you meet the y-axis.  Read the value of the y-axis.

Therefore, from inspection of the graph, h(1) = 2

Part (b)

h(3) is the y-value when x = 3.

Find x = 3 on the x-axis. Trace vertically down until you meet the curve.  Trace horizontally left until you meet the y-axis.  Read the value of the y-axis.

Therefore, from inspection of the graph, h(3) = -4

Part (c)

When h(x) = 0, y-value is y = 0.

From inspection of the graph, when y = 0, the curve goes through the origin (0, 0).  Therefore, x = 0 when h(x) = 0.

Part (d)

h(-1) is the y-value when x = -1.

Find x = -1 on the x-axis. Trace vertically down until you meet the curve.  Trace horizontally right until you meet the y-axis.  Read the value of the y-axis.

Therefore, from inspection of the graph, h(-1) = -2

Part (e)

h(-4) is the y-value when x = -4.

Find x = -4 on the x-axis. Trace vertically up until you meet the curve.  Trace horizontally right until you meet the y-axis.  Read the value of the y-axis.

Therefore, from inspection of the graph, h(-4) = 13
