Use the graph of $f$ to determine each of the following. Where applicable, use interval notation. $$ \begin{array}{l}{\text { a. the domain of } f} \\ {\text { b. the range of } f} \\ {\text { c. } f(-3)} \\ {\text { d. the values of } x \text { for which } f(x)=-2} \\ {\text { e. the points where the graph of } f \text { crosses the } x \text { -axis }} \\ {\text { t. the point where the graph of } f \text { crosses the } y \text { -axis }} \\ {\text { g. values of } x \text { for which } f(x)<0} \\ {\text { h. Is } f(-8) \text { positive or negative? }}\end{array} $$

Key Concepts

Inequalities Involving Functions

Analyzing inequalities such as f(x) < 0 involves determining the intervals over which the function's output is below or above a particular value. This can be done by assessing the graph of the function and identifying the regions where the function meets the given inequality.

Sign Analysis

Sign analysis in the context of functions involves determining whether the output of the function is positive or negative for specific values or intervals. This information, which can often be directly read from the graph, is useful for understanding behaviors such as where the function is above or below the x-axis.

Intercepts

Intercepts are the points where the graph of a function crosses the axes. The x-intercepts, or roots, occur where the function’s output value is zero, while the y-intercept is the point where the function crosses the y-axis (the input value is zero). These points are key in understanding the behavior and properties of the function.

Solving Equations from a Graph

This concept involves determining the values of the input variable for which the function equals a specified output value. Graphically, this is achieved by identifying the points of intersection between the graph of the function and the horizontal line representing the specified output.

Function Evaluation

Function evaluation involves finding the output of a function for a given input. This is typically done by substituting a specific value into the function and determining the corresponding y-value, which can either be read directly from the graph or computed algebraically.

Range

The range of a function is the set of all output values (usually y-values) that the function can produce. In the context of a graph, the range is determined by the vertical spread of the graph, capturing all y-values for which there is at least one corresponding x-value in the domain.

Domain

The domain of a function refers to the complete set of input values (usually x-values for a function f(x)) for which the function is defined. When analyzing graphical representations, the domain is determined by the horizontal extent of the graph, and it is often expressed using interval notation to specify the range of valid x-values.
