Question

The table represents a function. A 2-column table with 5 rows. The first column is labeled x with entries negative 6, 7, 4, 3, negative 5. The second column is labeled f of x with entries 8, 3, negative 5, negative 2, 12. Which value is an output of the function? –6 –2 4 7

Answer 1

-2 is the output of the function.

Explanation:

We have been given the table with two columns.

First column contains the values for x : -6, 7, 4, 3, -5

Second column contains the values for f(x): 8, 3, -5, -2, 12

The first column represents the imput values x which are independent. As the second value is labelled as f(x), it means all the values which we get after inputting values of x. Hence, f(x) represent the output values.

As the options given in the question for the values are -6,-2,4,7 , only one of these values match the outputs given in the second column which represents f(x), and that value is -2
