SOLUTION:
Case: Inverse function graphs
Given: A stepwise function
Final answer:
Answer Explanation:
The first stage shows a quadratic function approaching zero from (2, -1). The slope therefore heads downward (quadratic)
The slope for the next stepwise is given as:
[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{-1-0}{2-3} \\ m=\frac{-1}{-1} \\ m=1 \end{gathered}[/tex]
The slope is at 1.
On the next stepwise function, the slope is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{-2-0}{4-3} \\ m=\frac{-2}{1} \\ m=-2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
The final stepwise function has a slope of zero.
