Math Problem Statement

Based on the table, what is the expression for g(x) and h(x) in terms of f(x)?

Solution

To analyze this problem, let's work through each of the questions based on the given tables for functions f(x)f(x), g(x)g(x), and h(x)h(x).

First Problem Analysis for g(x)g(x)

We need to express g(x)g(x) in terms of f(x)f(x).

Comparing g(x)g(x) and f(x)f(x):

Let's look at the values of g(x)g(x) and see how they relate to f(x)f(x):

  • For x=3x = -3, g(3)=2g(-3) = -2 and f(2)=2f(-2) = -2.
  • For x=2x = -2, g(2)=0g(-2) = 0 and f(1)=0f(-1) = 0.
  • For x=1x = -1, g(1)=3g(-1) = 3 and f(0)=3f(0) = 3.
  • For x=0x = 0, g(0)=4g(0) = -4 and f(1)=4f(1) = -4.
  • For x=1x = 1, g(1)=1g(1) = 1 and f(2)=1f(2) = 1.

From this, we observe that g(x)=f(x+1)g(x) = f(x + 1) because for each xx in g(x)g(x), the corresponding value of g(x)g(x) is equal to f(x+1)f(x + 1).

Thus, the answer for g(x)g(x) is: g(x)=f(x+1)g(x) = f(x + 1)

Second Problem Analysis for h(x)h(x)

We need to express h(x)h(x) in terms of f(x)f(x).

Comparing h(x)h(x) and f(x)f(x):

Now let's check how h(x)h(x) relates to f(x)f(x):

  • For x=2x = -2, h(2)=1h(-2) = -1 and f(2)=2f(-2) = -2.
  • For x=1x = -1, h(1)=1h(-1) = 1 and f(1)=0f(-1) = 0.
  • For x=0x = 0, h(0)=2h(0) = -2 and f(0)=3f(0) = -3.
  • For x=1x = 1, h(1)=3h(1) = -3 and f(1)=4f(1) = -4.
  • For x=2x = 2, h(2)=2h(2) = 2 and f(2)=1f(2) = 1.

From this comparison, we observe that h(x)=f(x)+1h(x) = f(x) + 1, as each value of h(x)h(x) is exactly one unit greater than the corresponding value of f(x)f(x).

Thus, the answer for h(x)h(x) is: h(x)=f(x)+1h(x) = f(x) + 1
