Question

Complete the table of inputs and outputs for the given function. g(x)=-4x-1

Answer 1

Answer:

  (x, y) = (-2, 7), (0, -1), (3, -13), (-1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To fill in the y-values, you need to put the x-value in the equation and evaluate.

for x=0

  y = -4(0) -1 = -1

for x=-1

  y = -4(-1) -1 = 4 -1 = 3

__

To fill in the x-values, we can solve for x and then do as we did above.

  y = -4x -1

  y +1 = -4x . . . . add 1

  -(y +1)/4 = x . . . divide by -4

for y=7

  x = -(7 +1)/4 = -2

for y=-13

  x = -(-13+1)/4 = -(-12/4) = 3

__

Then the table is ...

  $\boxed{\begin{array}{cc}x&g(x)\\-2&7\\0&-1\\3&-13\\-1&3\end{array}}$
