Question

At which ordered pair will the function

f(x) = -x – 2 – 2 begin on the
coordinate plane?
([?], [])

Answer 1

(-2, -2)

Explanation:

The radical has a value of 0 when x = -2. At that point, the function value is ...

f(-2) = √(-(-2)-2) -2 = √(0) -2

f(-2) = -2

The graph starts at (-2, -2).
