Question

use the graph of the function $f(x)$ below to find the absolute minimum value.

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the concept of absolute minimum

The absolute minimum of a function \(y = f(x)\) on its domain is the smallest \(y -\)value (output) that the function attains.

Step2: Analyze the graph

Looking at the \(y -\)coordinates of the points on the graph. The \(y -\)coordinates of the points on the graph are values such as \(y = 4\), \(y = 2\), \(y = 3\), and the lowest \(y -\)value (since the graph has a closed - point at the bottom) is \(y=-3\).

Answer:

The absolute minimum value of the function \(f(x)\) is \(-3\)
