The table represents a function.

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
\hline
[tex]$x$[/tex] & [tex]$f(x)$[/tex] \\
\hline
-6 & 3 \\
\hline
-2 & 1 \\
\hline
0 & 4 \\
\hline
3 & -2 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

What is [tex]$f(-2)$[/tex]?

A. [tex]$-3$[/tex]
B. [tex]$-1$[/tex]
C. [tex]$1$[/tex]
D. [tex]$3$[/tex]



Answer :

To determine the value of [tex]\( f(-2) \)[/tex] from the given table, follow these steps:

1. Identify the row in the table where [tex]\( x = -2 \)[/tex].
2. Look at the corresponding [tex]\( f(x) \)[/tex] value in that row.

Here is the table for reference:

[tex]\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline x & f(x) \\ \hline -6 & 3 \\ \hline -2 & 1 \\ \hline 0 & 4 \\ \hline 3 & -2 \\ \hline \end{array} \][/tex]

In the row where [tex]\( x = -2 \)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline -2 & 1 \\ \hline \end{array} \][/tex]

We can see that the corresponding value of [tex]\( f(-2) \)[/tex] is [tex]\( 1 \)[/tex].

Therefore, the value of [tex]\( f(-2) \)[/tex] is [tex]\( 1 \)[/tex].
