Math Problem Statement

Use the table below to fill in the missing values: 1. f(2) = ? 2. If f(x) = 0, then x = ? 3. f^(-1)(-8) = ? 4. If f^(-1)(x) = 7, then x = ?

Solution

Let's analyze the table and solve the questions based on it. The table provides values for xx and the corresponding function values f(x)f(x).

Here's the table extracted from the image:

x & f(x) \\ \hline 0 & 8 \\ 1 & 6 \\ 2 & 4 \\ 3 & 2 \\ 4 & 0 \\ 5 & -2 \\ 6 & -4 \\ 7 & -6 \\ 8 & -8 \\ 9 & -10 \\ \end{array}$$ Now, let's answer the questions: 1. **$$f(2) =$$** To find $$f(2)$$, look for the value of $$f(x)$$ when $$x = 2$$. $$f(2) = 4$$ 2. **If $$f(x) = 0$$, then $$x =$$** To find $$x$$ when $$f(x) = 0$$, look for the value of $$x$$ corresponding to $$f(x) = 0$$. $$f(x) = 0 \text{ when } x = 4$$ 3. **$$f^{-1}(-8) =$$** The inverse function $$f^{-1}(y)$$ gives the value of $$x$$ such that $$f(x) = y$$. $$f^{-1}(-8) = 8$$ 4. **If $$f^{-1}(x) = 7$$, then $$x =$$** If $$f^{-1}(x) = 7$$, then $$f(7) = x$$. Look for the value of $$f(7)$$. $$f(7) = -6 \text{, so } x = -6$$ Here are the answers: 1. $$f(2) = 4$$ 2. If $$f(x) = 0$$, then $$x = 4$$ 3. $$f^{-1}(-8) = 8$$ 4. If $$f^{-1}(x) = 7$$, then $$x = -6$$ Would you like further details on any of these solutions or explanations? --- **Related Questions:** 1. What is $$f^{-1}(0)$$? 2. Find $$f(9)$$. 3. If $$f^{-1}(x) = 4$$, what is $$x$$? 4. Calculate $$f^{-1}(-2)$$. 5. Determine $$f(0)$$. **Tip:** When working with inverse functions, remember that $$f^{-1}(y) = x$$ means $$f(x) = y$$. This helps you find the input $$x$$ that corresponds to a given output $$y$$.
