Question

Use the image to answer the question. Which equation describes the function shown in the mapping diagram? (1 point) Responses f(x)=8x−12 f left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals 8 x minus Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction f(y)=12x−8 f left parenthesis y right parenthesis equals Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction x minus 8 f(x)=12x−8 f left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction x minus 8 f(y)=8x−12

Answer 1

To determine which equation describes the function shown in the mapping diagram, we would typically need to analyze the relationships demonstrated in the diagram, including the input-output pairs. However, since we don't have the image available for review, I can guide you on how to approach this if you had the diagram.

1. Identify Input-Output Relationships: Look at the values of \( x \) and their corresponding \( f(x) \) outputs shown in the mapping diagram.

2. Test Each Equation: Plug in the \( x \) values from the diagram into each of the given equations to see which one produces the corresponding \( f(x) \) output.

3. Select the Correct Equation: The equation that consistently gives the same results as the outputs from the mapping diagram is the correct one.

If you can describe the mapping diagram or provide specific input-output pairs, I would be happy to help you determine the correct function!
