Question

problem 2 - part a
function p represents the perimeter, in inches, of a square with side length x inches.
complete the table.
0 1 2 3 4 5 6

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the perimeter formula for a square

The perimeter \( P \) of a square with side length \( x \) is given by the formula \( P = 4x \), since a square has 4 equal sides.

Step2: Calculate \( P \) for each \( x \)

• For \( x = 0 \): \( P = 4\times0 = 0 \)
• For \( x = 1 \): \( P = 4\times1 = 4 \)
• For \( x = 2 \): \( P = 4\times2 = 8 \)
• For \( x = 3 \): \( P = 4\times3 = 12 \)
• For \( x = 4 \): \( P = 4\times4 = 16 \)
• For \( x = 5 \): \( P = 4\times5 = 20 \)
• For \( x = 6 \): \( P = 4\times6 = 24 \)

Answer:

The completed table (from left to right) has values: \( 0 \), \( 4 \), \( 8 \), \( 12 \), \( 16 \), \( 20 \), \( 24 \)
