To The Instructor... The solutions here are somewhat brief, as they are designed for the instructor, not for the student. Check with the publishers before electronically posting any part of these solutions; website, ftp, or server access must be restricted to your students.

Although this does not change…

from the answers given here. 1. (a) The point (−1, −2) is on the graph of f , so f (−1) = −2. (b) When x = 2, y is about 2.8, so f (2) ≈ 2.8. (c) f (x) = 2 is equivalent to y = 2. When y = 2, we have x = −3 and x = 1. (d) Reasonable estimates for x when y = 0 are x = −2.5 and x = 0.3. (e) The domain of f consists of all x-values on the graph of f . For this function, the domain is −3 ≤ x ≤ 3, or [−3, 3]. The range of f consists of all y -values on the graph of f . For this…
