SOLUTION

On the graph above, when x = 1/2, y = 2; and when x = 1, y = 1. The graph is symmetric with respect to the vertical line at x = 2. According to the graph, when x = 3, y =

(A) -1
(B) -1/2
(C) 0
(D) 1/2
(E) 1

Since the graph is symmetric with respect to line $$x = 2$$, then the value of $$y$$ when $$x = 3$$ will be the same as the value of $$y$$ when $$x = 1$$, so 1.

(E) 1

its symmetric with respect to x=2.
when x=1, 1 unit to the left of x(2), y is 1.
when x=3, 1 unit to the right of x(2), y should again be 1 as it is symmetric.

Half of the entire graph is a mirror image of the other side. The center coordinate is (2,0) according to the graph. Thus, y when x=1 and y when x-3 are equal.

On the graph above, when x = 1/2, y = 2; and when x = 1, y = 1. The graph is symmetric with respect to the vertical line at x = 2. According to the graph, when x = 3, y =

(A) -1
(B) -1/2
(C) 0
(D) 1/2
(E) 1

We are given that the graph is SYMMETRIC along the vertical line x = 2. We are also given that when x = 1, y = 1. We are asked to determine the value of y when x is 3. Keep in mind that when x = 1, it is ONE UNIT away from the line x = 2, and when x = 3, it is also ONE UNIT away from the line x = 2.

Since the y-coordinate is 1, when x is 1, the y-coordinate is ALSO 1 when x is 3. Again, this is because the graph is symmetric with the line x = 2.

Another way to look at this problem is to see that the point (1,1) is actually being reflected over the line x = 2.

We see that the point (1,1) is exactly 1 unit from the line x = 2. In fact the point (2,1) is on the line x = 2 which is exactly 1 unit from (1,1). However, (1,1) is exactly 1 unit on the LEFT of (2,1), so by symmetry, the point that is exactly 1 unit on the RIGHT of (2,1) is (3,1). Thus the y-coordinate is 1.
