1. **Problem statement:** We are asked to determine the truth value of several statements about a function $f$ given only its variation table:
$$\begin{array}{c|ccccc}
x & -4 & -2 & 0 & 4 & 6 \\
f(x) & 1 & 0 & 3 & -3 & -1 \\
\end{array}$$
2. **Recall:** The variation table shows values of $f(x)$ at specific points and the behavior (increasing or decreasing) between these points.
3. **Analyze each statement:**
**a. $f(-3) = 4$**
- $-3$ is between $-4$ and $-2$.
- $f$ decreases from $1$ at $-4$ to $0$ at $-2$.
- So $f(-3)$ is between $1$ and $0$, definitely not $4$.
- **Answer:** False.
**b. $f(1) > f(3)$**
- $1$ and $3$ lie between $0$ and $4$.
- $f$ decreases from $3$ at $0$ to $-3$ at $4$.
- So $f(1) > f(3)$ since function is decreasing.
- **Answer:** True.
**c. $f(-1)$ is positive**
- $-1$ is between $-2$ and $0$.
- $f$ increases from $0$ at $-2$ to $3$ at $0$.
- So $f(-1)$ is between $0$ and $3$, thus positive.
- **Answer:** True.
**d. $f(x) = 0$ has a single solution**
- From table, $f(-2) = 0$.
- Between $-4$ and $-2$, $f$ decreases from $1$ to $0$.
- Between $-2$ and $0$, $f$ increases from $0$ to $3$.
- No other zero values indicated.
- **Answer:** True.
**e. $f(1) > 3$**
- $1$ is between $0$ and $4$ where $f$ decreases from $3$ to $-3$.
- So $f(1) < 3$.
- **Answer:** False.
**f. $f(5)$ is negative**
- $5$ is between $4$ and $6$.
- $f$ increases from $-3$ at $4$ to $-1$ at $6$.
- Both values negative, so $f(5)$ is negative.
- **Answer:** True.
**g. $f(-3) < f(-2)$**
- $f(-2) = 0$.
- $f$ decreases from $1$ at $-4$ to $0$ at $-2$.
- So $f(-3)$ is between $1$ and $0$, thus $f(-3) > f(-2)$.
- **Answer:** False.
**h. If $x \in [0;6]$, then $f(x) \geq -3$**
- $f(4) = -3$, $f(6) = -1$.
- Between $0$ and $4$, $f$ decreases from $3$ to $-3$.
- Between $4$ and $6$, $f$ increases from $-3$ to $-1$.
- So $f(x) \geq -3$ on $[0;6]$.
- **Answer:** True.
**Final answers:**
- a: False
- b: True
- c: True
- d: True
- e: False
- f: True
- g: False
- h: True
