To find the values of the function \( f(-x) \) from the function \( f(x) \), you need to substitute \(-x\) into the function for each given \( x \) value.

Assuming we need to know the corresponding values of \( f(-x) \) for the specified \( x \) values of \(-1\), \(-2\), and \(-3\), follow these steps:

  1. For \( x = -1 \):

    • Find \( f(-(-1)) = f(1) \).
  2. For \( x = -2 \):

    • Find \( f(-(-2)) = f(2) \).
  3. For \( x = -3 \):

    • Find \( f(-(-3)) = f(3) \).

If you know the values of \( f(1) \), \( f(2) \), and \( f(3) \) from the graph, you can directly fill in the table. Here’s an example of what the table might look like if we had hypothetical values (replace these with actual values from your graph):

| x | -1 | -2 | -3 | |----|----|----|----| | f(-x) | 2 | 3 | 1 |

Make sure to look at the graph of \( f(x) \) to find the actual function values for \( f(1) \), \( f(2) \), and \( f(3) \).
