Math Problem Statement

Fill in the table using the function rule: y = 2x + 4

Solution

The function rule given is y=2x+4y = 2x + 4. To fill in the table, we can substitute each xx-value into the equation to find the corresponding yy-value.

Let's go through each value:

  1. For x=4x = -4: y=2(4)+4=8+4=4y = 2(-4) + 4 = -8 + 4 = -4

  2. For x=2x = -2: y=2(2)+4=4+4=0y = 2(-2) + 4 = -4 + 4 = 0

  3. For x=0x = 0: y=2(0)+4=0+4=4y = 2(0) + 4 = 0 + 4 = 4

  4. For x=2x = 2: y=2(2)+4=4+4=8y = 2(2) + 4 = 4 + 4 = 8

So, the completed table is:

\hline x & y \\ \hline -4 & -4 \\ -2 & 0 \\ 0 & 4 \\ 2 & 8 \\ \hline \end{array}$$ Would you like more details on this process, or do you have any questions? ### Further Questions 1. What is the general process for evaluating function rules? 2. How would the table change if the function were $$y = 3x + 1$$? 3. Can we create a graph for these values, and what would it look like? 4. How does changing the coefficient of $$x$$ affect the slope of the line? 5. What is the significance of the number added to $$2x$$ in the function? ### Tip When working with function rules, always substitute the $$x$$-values carefully and check your arithmetic to avoid errors in calculations.
