Option C:
5, 1, 7
Solution:
Given equation:
y = |3x + 1|
In the chart, x values are given as –2, 0, 2.
To find the value of y for the corresponding x given.
Substitute x = –2 in the equation of y.
y = |3(–2) + 1|
= |–6 + 1|
= |–5| (Absolute value of a negative number is positive)
y = 5
Substitute x = 0 in the equation of y.
y = |3(0) + 1|
= |0 + 1|
= |1|
y = 1
Substitute x = 2 in the equation of y.
y = |3(2) + 1|
= |6 + 1|
= |7| (Absolute value of a negative number is positive)
y = 7
Option C is the correct answer.
The values of y are 5, 1, 7.
The answer image of the table is attached below.
You can identify that "5 over 100" can be written as a fraction. 5 will be the numerator and 100 will be the denominator:
To reduce this fraction, you need to divide the numerator and the denominator by the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) between them.
In this case, to find the GCF, you need to:
- Decompose the number into their Prime Factors:
- Notice that 5 is a common factor. Then, you need to choose the one with the lowest exponent:
Therefore, by dividing the numerator and the denominator by 5, you get:
Hence, the answer is:
