Math Problem Statement
Complete the table for the function f(x) = -2|x| with given x values.
Solution
To complete the table, we need to evaluate for each given value by following these steps:
- Calculate the absolute value .
- Multiply the absolute value by -2 to get .
Let's go through each value of :
-
For :
-
For :
-
For :
-
For :
So, the completed table should look like this:
-1 | -2 |
0 | 0 |
1 | -2 |
2 | -4 |
