To determine the inputs of the function, we need to identify which values correspond to the variable \(x\). These values are presented in the table under the column labeled \(x\).
Let's look at the given table:
[tex]\[
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline[tex]$x$[/tex] & -8 & 2 & 4 & 6 \\
\hline[tex]$f(x)$[/tex] & -6 & -3 & 1 & 5 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\][/tex]
The first row of the table indicates the \(x\) values, which are the inputs of the function. Hence, the inputs of the function are:
[tex]\[
-8, 2, 4, 6
\][/tex]
Thus, the correct answer is:
[tex]\[
-8, 2, 4, 6
\][/tex]
