Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) is another way of saying y. So, the table is asking, "when substituting these x values for the x's in the function, what does y equal?" So, to answer the question, substitute each x value into the equation and solve.
1) Start with the x value of 1. Substitute 1 for x in y = 2x - 1 and solve:
So, when x equals 1, y equals 1. Therefore, the first box on the top must be filled out with the number 1.
2) Do the same with the rest of the x values. Here are the steps to solve each one, going in order from the top towards the bottom:
x = 0
x = -1
x = 2
