Question

Use the function f (x) =2-5x
to fill in the blanks in the table.


x f(x)
-2 __
-1 __
0 __
1 __
2 __

Answer 1

To fill in the table using the function \( f(x) = 2 - 5x \), we will calculate \( f(x) \) for each value of \( x \) provided:

1. For \( x = -2 \):
\[
f(-2) = 2 - 5(-2) = 2 + 10 = 12
\]

2. For \( x = -1 \):
\[
f(-1) = 2 - 5(-1) = 2 + 5 = 7
\]

3. For \( x = 0 \):
\[
f(0) = 2 - 5(0) = 2 - 0 = 2
\]

4. For \( x = 1 \):
\[
f(1) = 2 - 5(1) = 2 - 5 = -3
\]

5. For \( x = 2 \):
\[
f(2) = 2 - 5(2) = 2 - 10 = -8
\]

Now we can fill in the table:

\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|}
\hline
x & f(x) \\
\hline
-2 & 12 \\
-1 & 7 \\
0 & 2 \\
1 & -3 \\
2 & -8 \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]
