The step function f(x) is graphed. On a coordinate plane, a step graph has horizontal segments that are each 1 unit long. The left end of each segment is a closed circle. The right end of each segment is an open circle. The left-most segment goes from (negative 5, 3) to (negative 4, 3). Each segment is 1 unit lower and 1 unit farther to the right than the previous segment. The right-most segment goes from (2, negative 4) to (3, negative 4). What is the value of f(0)? -2 -1 0 1

(2,9)

i think thats the answer i checked it on google

lol.

it's ok we all do this sometimes.

answer: integers are just whole numbers: positive, negative, and zero.

i = {-∞, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ∞}

let x = 1st integer

let y = 2nd integer

x = 3y + 17   {equation 1}

xy = -24         {equation 2}

substitute 3y+17 in place of x n equation 2

and solve for y.

(3y+17)y = -24

3y2 + 17y = -24

3y2 + 17y + 24 = 0

from quadratic equation:

y = [-17±√(172-4(3)(24))]/(2(3))

y = (-17 ±√1)/6

y = (-17+1)/6   or     y = (-17-1)/6

y = -16/6           or     y = -18/6

y = -2 2/3         or   y = -3

since we are dealing with

y = -3

x = 3y+17 = -9+17 = 8

the integers are -3, 8
