Question 96830: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v704/superstar8856/line2-1.jpg
Please excuse my kind of crudely drawn graph.
Use the following graph of f(x) to find each of the function values.
f(-2) =
f(-1) =
f(0) =
f(2) =

By looking at the graph, I'm assuming the curve goes through y=1 (it's hard to tell)

Let's find f(-2):

Find x=-2 and find the corresponding y value on the curve. However, since there is an asymptote at x=-2, the value f(-2) doesn't exist

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's find f(-1):

Find x=-1 and find the corresponding y value on the curve. It looks like at x=-1, the y value is y=-1 (once again I'm guessing so it would be better to accurately line up the coordinates or use the grid)


So f(-1)=-1 (according to my guess)
----------------------------------------------------------------------




Let's find f(0):

Find x=0 and find the corresponding y value on the curve. It looks like at x=0, the y value is y=1


So f(0)=1
----------------------------------------------------------------------



Let's find f(2):

Find x=2 and find the corresponding y value on the curve. It looks like at x=2, the y value is y=2 (once again a guess)


So f(2)=2
----------------------------------------------------------------------


note: it would be really helpful to know the function. That way you simply plug in the given x value to get a f(x) value
