What you must do is remember that when you see this (-8,0)(-5,3)(0,-4)(5,0)(7,6) , this is what it means: #1. (-8,0) means x=-8 and y=f(x)=f(-8)=0 #2. (-5,3) means x=-5 and y=f(x)=f(-5)=3 #3. (0,-4) means x=0 and y=f(x)=f(0)=-4 #4. (5,0) means x=5 and y=f(x)=f(5)=0 #5. (7,6) means x=7 and y=f(x)=f(7)=6 a) f(-5) Looking above you can see from #2 that the answer is 3. b) f(0)= Looking above you can see from #3 that the answer is -4. c) What is the domain? Think of them as: (-8,0)(-5,3)(0,-4)(5,0)(-7,6) The domain is the set of all the red ones, the first ones, the x's: domain = {-8,-5,0,5,7} d) What is the range? The range is the set of all the green ones, the second ones, the y's, also called the f(x)'s: {0,3,-4,0,6), but you shouldn't list 0 twice, so you just have: {0,3,-4,6) But you also should put these in order from smallest to largest: {0,-4,3,6) e) Find the value(s)of x such that f(x)=0 Looking above at #1 and #4 you can see that there are two answers, -8 and 5.
