Question

the table represents the function $f(x)$. when $f(x) = -3$, what is $x$? \

$$\begin{tabular}{|c|c|} \\hline $x$ & $f(x)$ \\\\ \\hline $-4$ & $-66$ \\\\ \\hline $-3$ & $-29$ \\\\ \\hline $-2$ & $-10$ \\\\ \\hline $-1$ & $-3$ \\\\ \\hline $0$ & $-2$ \\\\ \\hline $1$ & $-1$ \\\\ \\hline $2$ & $6$ \\\\ \\hline \\end{tabular}$$

\

$$\begin{itemize} \\item $-29$ \\item $-10$ \\item $-3$ \\item $-1$ \\end{itemize}$$

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the table

We need to find the value of \( x \) when \( f(x) = -3 \). So we look through the \( f(x) \) column to find the row where \( f(x) = -3 \).

Step2: Find the corresponding \( x \)

Looking at the table, when \( f(x) = -3 \), the corresponding \( x \) value is \( -1 \).

Answer:

\( -1 \) (corresponding to the option: -1)
