<p>Sun-
The smallest value is the local minimum–the smallest value that y can be in a function (if there even is a smallest value). If you haven’t taken pre-calculus, I can see why this would seem like a bit of a wierd question.</p>

<p>^ Don’t forget X for the maximum.</p>

<p>What was that question where it asked for f(-1) - f(1)…
It gave you a graph too… what was the answer???</p>

<p>Also someone remind me what “g(0): 6” asked?</p>

<p>

It gave you the equation g(x) = f(x-1) + f(x+1) along with a graph of f(x). It asked you for g(0).</p>

<p>g(x) = f(x-1) + f(x+1)
g(0) = f(-1) + f(1)
The graph showed the points (-1, 2) and (1, 4), which means that f(-1) and f(1) are, respectively, 2 and 4. Thus, g(0) = 2+4 = 6.</p>

<p>

OK so that was the g(0) problem.
BUT there was another one… if anyone remembers? it EXPLICITLY stated to find what f(whatever number) - f(other number) is according to the graph… it was different from the g(0) problem… (maybe it was experimental, idk)
and i think the answer was 2… does anyone remember because i have been dwelling on this for days, i can’t remember the exact question…</p>

<p>actually, it might have been the same problem lol</p>

<p>Six more days till we find out…</p>

<p>Does anyone remember for the “x+1/y” was another answer choice “x+1/x” or “y+1/y”?</p>

<p>yeah I’m sure those were other choices.</p>

<p>do you remember what letter choice the answer was? was it D?</p>

<p>It was D. Don’t ask how I remember that!</p>

<p>^ You beat me to it :slight_smile: but yes it was d</p>

<p>I’m lol’ing at my 800 in this and my 580 CR 660 W
XD</p>
