Math Problem Statement

Given the table of values for f(x), create a table of values for h(x) = 2f(2x - 4) + 3.

Solution

The task is to create a table of values for h(x)=2f(2x4)+3h(x) = 2f(2x - 4) + 3, based on the provided values of f(x)f(x) in the given table.

Step-by-step approach:

  1. Substitute the given values of xx into the formula for h(x)h(x):

    The formula for h(x)h(x) is based on f(2x4)f(2x - 4), meaning we first need to compute the value inside f()f(\cdot) for each xx, and then find the corresponding f()f(\cdot) from the table.

  2. Given table for f(x)f(x):

    x & f(x) \\ \hline 1 & -3 \\ -9 & 2 \\ 7 & -5 \\ \end{array}$$

Now, let’s calculate h(x)h(x) for each value of xx:

For x=1x = 1:

  • 2x4=2(1)4=22x - 4 = 2(1) - 4 = -2
  • f(2)f(-2) is not provided in the table, so we cannot compute h(1)h(1).

For x=9x = -9:

  • 2x4=2(9)4=184=222x - 4 = 2(-9) - 4 = -18 - 4 = -22
  • f(22)f(-22) is also not provided in the table, so we cannot compute h(9)h(-9).

For x=7x = 7:

  • 2x4=2(7)4=144=102x - 4 = 2(7) - 4 = 14 - 4 = 10
  • f(10)f(10) is also not provided in the table, so we cannot compute h(7)h(7).

Conclusion:

None of the values for 2x42x - 4 correspond to values of f(x)f(x) in the given table. Therefore, it is impossible to compute h(x)h(x) using the given data.
