<p>Could someone help me figure this one out...I can never get this type of question correct.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>f(x) is y, so its asking at how many points does that function intersect with the horizontal line, y=2. I believe the answer is 3 times. In other words, at how many points on the function is the the y coordinate equal to 2.</p>
<p>It’s just literally looking at the graph. -3<x<6 just means its asking what happens when the x coordinate is equal to and between -3 and 6. The y coordinate hits 2 three times in that region in the question.</p>
<p>Wow…thanks so very much, that is the correct answer!</p>
<p>I guess I really didn’t understand what it was asking then.</p>
<p>Thanks again!</p>
<p>Y = f(x) so when they say f(x) = 2, think of the horizontal line equation y = 2. Now sketch that on the problem! Don’t be so nice to it and leave it unscathed, draw all over it my friend! Attack the math problem. Drawing y = 2 over this fancy looking curve, you’ll see that the line intersects with the graph a total of 3 times from -3<x<6. Therefore, your answer should be (D) Three. Hope I helped, best of luck! :)!</p>
