graph the function

f(x)=�ãx-2
graph the function leftmost point and three additional points

since √u is defined only for u >=0, your domain here is

x-2 >= 0
x >= 2

SO, the point (2,0) is the left-most point. Now plot a few more points.

To graph the function f(x) = x-2 and find the leftmost point and three additional points, follow these steps:

1. Let's start by finding the leftmost point on the graph. Since there are no restrictions mentioned in the function, we can choose any x value. Let's choose x = 0 for simplicity.
- Substitute x = 0 into the function: f(0) = 0 - 2.
- Evaluate: f(0) = -2.
- So, the leftmost point is (0, -2).

2. Now, let's find three additional points to plot on the graph. We can choose any x values to substitute into the function and find their corresponding y values.
- Choose three different x values; let's use x = -2, 1, and 3.

Point 1:
- Substitute x = -2 into the function: f(-2) = -2 - 2.
- Evaluate: f(-2) = -4.
- The first additional point is (-2, -4).

Point 2:
- Substitute x = 1 into the function: f(1) = 1 - 2.
- Evaluate: f(1) = -1.
- The second additional point is (1, -1).

Point 3:
- Substitute x = 3 into the function: f(3) = 3 - 2.
- Evaluate: f(3) = 1.
- The third additional point is (3, 1).

3. Plot these four points on a coordinate plane: (0, -2), (-2, -4), (1, -1), and (3, 1).

4. Connect the points with a straight line. Since the function is f(x) = x-2, the graph will be a linear function with a slope of 1 and y-intercept of -2.

5. Label the graph as f(x) = x-2.

That's it! You have successfully graphed the function f(x) = x-2 and found the leftmost point and three additional points on the graph.
