To solve this given the points, it appears you are trying to determine a function based on the input-output relationship you've provided. The points you presented are:
X Y
0 3
1 3.5
2 4
3 4.5
From these points, we can see that as \( x \) increases by 1, \( y \) increases by 0.5.
This suggests a linear relationship.
Given the options provided:
- \( f(x) = 3x + \frac{1}{2} \)
- \( f(y) = 3x + \frac{1}{2} \)
- \( f(x) = \frac{1}{2}x + 3 \)
- \( f(y) = \frac{1}{2}x + 3 \)
Let's rewrite the output values for \( y \) in terms of \( x \):
The formula \( f(x) = \frac{1}{2}x + 3 \) can be tested:
- For \( x = 0 \): \( f(0) = \frac{1}{2}(0) + 3 = 3 \)
- For \( x = 1 \): \( f(1) = \frac{1}{2}(1) + 3 = 3.5 \)
- For \( x = 2 \): \( f(2) = \frac{1}{2}(2) + 3 = 4 \)
- For \( x = 3 \): \( f(3) = \frac{1}{2}(3) + 3 = 4.5 \)
Thus, this function matches all the provided points.
Based on this analysis, the answer is:
\( f(x) = \frac{1}{2}x + 3 \).
