Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the given function ƒ(x) from the problem statement or example. This function will be used to find the values at specific points.
To find ƒ(2), substitute x = 2 into the function. This means replacing every occurrence of x in the function with 2, resulting in the expression ƒ(2) = function evaluated at 2.
Simplify the expression obtained after substitution by performing all arithmetic operations and applying any trigonometric identities if necessary, but do not calculate the final numeric value yet.
To find ƒ(-1), substitute x = -1 into the function. Replace every x in the function with -1, resulting in the expression ƒ(-1) = function evaluated at -1.
Simplify the expression obtained after substituting x = -1 by performing all arithmetic operations and applying any trigonometric identities if necessary, again without calculating the final numeric value.

Sea level refers to the surface of the ocean. The depth of a body of water can be expressed as a negative number, representing average depth in feet below sea level. The altitude of a mountain can be expressed as a positive number, indicating its height in feet above sea level. The table gives selected depths and altitudes. List the bodies of water in order, deepest to shallowest.
