Question

the table represents a function.

x	f(x)
7	3
4	-5
3	-2
-5	12

which value is an output of the function?
-2 -6
7 4

Explanation:

Step1: Recall function input-output

In a function table, \( x \) is the input, \( f(x) \) is the output. So we check which of the options is in the \( f(x) \) column.

Step2: Check each option

• Option -2: In the table, when \( x = 3 \), \( f(x)=-2 \), so -2 is an output.
• Option -6: It's an \( x \)-value (input), not output.
• Option 7: It's an \( x \)-value (input), not output.
• Option 4: It's an \( x \)-value (input), not output.

Answer:

\(-2\)
