Math Problem Statement

A table representing the function f(x) = 2 is shown below.

What is true of the given function?

The function increases at a constant additive rate.

The function increases at a constant multiplicative rate.

The function has an initial value of 0.

As each x value increases by 1, the y values increase by 1.\

Solution

For the given function f(x)=2f(x) = 2, let's analyze the options provided:

  1. The function increases at a constant additive rate.

    • False. The function f(x)=2f(x) = 2 is a constant function, meaning that the value of f(x)f(x) remains the same (2) for all values of xx. There is no increase or decrease.
  2. The function increases at a constant multiplicative rate.

    • False. Since the function is constant, there is no increase, multiplicative or otherwise.
  3. The function has an initial value of 0.

    • False. The function always takes the value 2 for any xx, so it does not have an initial value of 0.
  4. As each xx value increases by 1, the yy values increase by 1.

    • False. The yy values (which represent f(x)f(x)) remain constant at 2 regardless of the changes in xx.

Conclusion:

None of the provided statements are true for the given function f(x)=2f(x) = 2.
