Question

the table represents the function f(x).
what is f(3)?

x	f(x)
-3	-9
-2	-6
-1	-3
0	0
1	3
2	6
3	9

options: -9, -1, 1, 9

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the table

The table shows pairs of \( x \) and \( f(x) \). We need to find \( f(3) \), which means we look for the row where \( x = 3 \) and find the corresponding \( f(x) \) value.

Step2: Locate \( x = 3 \) in the table

Looking at the table, when \( x = 3 \), the value of \( f(x) \) is 9.

Answer:

9 (corresponding to the option with 9, e.g., if the options are as given, the correct one is the last option with 9)
