Question

consider the function represented by the table.

x	f(x)
-3	5
2	-4
4	-8

for which x is f(x)=-3?

• -7
• -4
• 4
• 5

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the table

We have a table with columns \( x \) and \( f(x) \). We need to find the \( x \) value for which \( f(x) = -3 \).

Step2: Check each row

• For \( x = -7 \), \( f(x) = -3 \) (matches the required \( f(x) = -3 \)).
• For \( x = -3 \), \( f(x) = 5 \) (does not match).
• For \( x = 2 \), \( f(x) = -4 \) (does not match).
• For \( x = 4 \), \( f(x) = -8 \) (does not match).

Answer:

A. -7
