Question

problems 4–6
use the table to determine the missing values in the function statements.

x	-5	-2	5

f(□) = 23
f(-5) = □
f(□) = -5

Explanation:

Step1: Find \( f(-5) \)

Look at the table where \( x = -5 \), the corresponding \( f(x) \) value is 17. So \( f(-5)=17 \).

Step2: Find \( x \) when \( f(x)=23 \)

Look at the table where \( f(x) = 23 \), the corresponding \( x \) value is 5. So \( f(5)=23 \).

Step3: Find \( x \) when \( f(x)=-5 \)

Look at the table where \( f(x) = -5 \), the corresponding \( x \) value is -2. So \( f(-2)=-5 \).

Answer:

\( f(-5)=\boldsymbol{17} \), \( f(\boldsymbol{5}) = 23 \), \( f(\boldsymbol{-2})=-5 \)
