To determine which equation accurately describes the data in the table, we need to analyze the values provided for \( x \) and \( y \).
From the table:
- When \( x = 0 \), \( y = 3 \)
- When \( x = 1 \), \( y = 3 \)
- When \( x = 2 \), \( y = 4 \)
- When \( x = 3 \), \( y = 4 \)
Observing \( y \) values:
- It stays constant at 3 for \( x = 0 \) and \( x = 1 \).
- Then, it increases to 4 for \( x = 2 \) and remains 4 for \( x = 3 \).
It appears that \( y \) stays constant (flat) at 3 for the first two \( x \) values and then shifts to 4 for the next \( x \) values.
Next, let's check the function options provided:
1. **\( f(y) = 12x + 3 \)**: This format indicates \( y \) as a function of \( x \) but is incorrectly written as \( f(y) \).
2. **\( f(x) = 12x + 3 \)**: This would imply a linear relationship starting at \( 3 \) when \( x = 0 \), but \( y \) would continue increasing, which does not match the observed values.
3. **\( f(x) = 3x + 12 \)**: This suggests \( y \) increases when \( x \) increases, misrepresenting the data.
4. **\( f(y) = 3x + 12 \)**: Similar to option 1, this is in the incorrect format.
None of the equations perfectly match the behavior of the provided data, but the correct function behavior can be stated in piecewise form based on observed values:
- \( f(x) = 3 \) for \( x = 0, 1 \)
- \( f(x) = 4 \) for \( x=2, 3 \).
If you must choose one of the provided answers based on the closest representation, **\( f(x) = 12x + 3 \)** suggests \( y \) can start from a base value of 3 but will not make sense in the broader context. Thus, none accurately depict the function observed in the table.
If required to select one, please double-check the context provided or the intended question, as the options seem misleading based on the data shared.
