Question

complete the table.
$f(a) = -|a| + 2$

$a$	$f(a)$
55
56
57

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute a=54 into formula

$f(54) = -|54| + 2 = -54 + 2$

Step2: Calculate f(54)

$f(54) = -52$

Step3: Substitute a=55 into formula

$f(55) = -|55| + 2 = -55 + 2$

Step4: Calculate f(55)

$f(55) = -53$

Step5: Substitute a=56 into formula

$f(56) = -|56| + 2 = -56 + 2$

Step6: Calculate f(56)

$f(56) = -54$

Step7: Substitute a=57 into formula

$f(57) = -|57| + 2 = -57 + 2$

Step8: Calculate f(57)

$f(57) = -55$

Answer:

$a$	$f(a)$
55	-53
56	-54
57	-55
