Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understand the Problem
The problem requires using the graph of a function to solve the inequality \( f(x) \leq 0 \). The graph of the function is provided.
Step 2: Identify the Relevant Points on the Graph
Examine the graph to identify the points where the function \( f(x) \) intersects the x-axis. These points are the solutions to \( f(x) = 0 \).
Step 3: Determine the Intervals
Determine the intervals on the x-axis where the function \( f(x) \) is less than or equal to zero. These intervals are between the x-intercepts identified in the previous step.
Final Answer
The solution to the inequality \( f(x) \leq 0 \) is the union of the intervals where the function is below or on the x-axis.
