Math Problem Statement

Let S := { − 10 , − 5 , 0 , 5 , 10 } and let g : S → S be given by the following table of values.

y

− 10

− 5

0

5

10

g ( y )

− 10

Use the table to fill in the missing values. There may be more than one correct answer, in which case you should enter your answers as a comma separated list. If there are no correct answers, enter NONE. help (numbers)

Solution

We are given a function g:SSg: S \to S, where the set S={10,5,0,5,10}S = \{-10, -5, 0, 5, 10\}, and the table provides some values of the function gg corresponding to different inputs yy.

The table looks like this:

yy10-105-500551010
g(y)g(y)10-100010105-555

We are asked to determine the following missing values:

  1. g(0)g(0) — Referring to the table, we see g(0)=10g(0) = 10.

  2. g(5)g(5) — Referring to the table, we see g(5)=5g(5) = -5.

  3. g(?)=0g(\text{?}) = 0 — We need to determine which input yy gives g(y)=0g(y) = 0. According to the table, g(5)=0g(-5) = 0.

Final Answers:

  1. g(0)=10g(0) = 10
  2. g(5)=5g(5) = -5
  3. g(?)=0g(\text{?}) = 0 — The answer is y=5y = -5.

Here are 5 related questions for further practice:

  1. What is the inverse of the function gg based on the given table?
  2. How many different outputs can a function from a set to itself have?
  3. What is the composition of gg with itself, i.e., g(g(y))g(g(y)) for all ySy \in S?
  4. If we defined a new function f:SSf: S \to S as f(y)=g(y)f(y) = -g(y), what would the table of ff look like?
  5. How does knowing the function’s behavior affect its invertibility?

Tip: When given a function in a table format, always match the input-output pairs carefully to spot patterns or missing values.
