Use the graph of the function f to solve the inequality.

Question

The points on the graph are (0,0) , (1,0) , (3,0)

Arrows at the ends of the lines (infinity)

a) The solution set for f(x) > 0 is (interval notation)

b) The solution set for f(x)

Answer 1

f(x) = 0 is the equation through the 3 given points

whatever x equals, y always equals zero

y = f(x) is never greater than zero, or anything but zero, not less than, not more than, just 0 and 0 alone, a very lonely zero

solution set for f(x)>0 is the null set, the set with zero elements

f(x) set? just zero [0] the element 0 and nothing else. A big fat goose egg, the losing team's score in a baseball or hockey game. never a score in basketball, no matter how bad one team is, or never in football either, almost never
