The table when completed looks like this:
x -2 -1 0 1 2
f(x) 4 2 1 2 4.
We plot these points on the graph: (-2, 4), (-1, 2), (0, 1), (1, 2), (2, 4).
<h3>What is a function?</h3>A function exists as a relation between a dependent variable (f(x)) and an expression of an independent variable (x), utilized to define the value of a dependent variable from a provided value of an independent variable.
We have been given a function,
We have to estimate the value of f(x) when x = {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2}
If the values of x ≤ 0, take f(x) = (1/2)ˣ then
f(-2) = (1/2)⁻² = 2² = 4
f(-1) = (1/2)⁻¹ = 2¹ = 2
f(0) = (1/2)⁰ = 1
If the values of x > 0, take f(x) = 2ˣ then
f(1) = 2¹ = 2
f(2) = 2² = 4
The table exists as follows
x -2 -1 0 1 2
f(x) 4 2 1 2 4.
We plot these points on the graph: (-2, 4), (-1, 2), (0, 1), (1, 2), (2, 4).
