Use the image to answer the question.

Two side-by-side shaded ovals labeled x and y each display a list of values. Five arrows point from the values in the left oval, x, to the values in the right oval, y.

This map shows ordered pairs that belong to the function f(x)=x2
. What is the missing value?

X Y
-2 0
-1 1
0 4
1

To find the missing value for the function \( f(x) = x^2 \), we can use the given values in the table.

We see that the function \( f(x) = x^2 \) tells us that for any input \( x \), the output \( y \) is equal to \( x \) squared.

From the table, we have the following pairs:

  • For \( x = -2 \): \( f(-2) = (-2)^2 = 4 \), but it says \( y = 0 \), which seems inconsistent. Let's ignore that for calculation for now.
  • For \( x = -1 \): \( f(-1) = (-1)^2 = 1 \) (this matches, as \( y = 1 \)).
  • For \( x = 0 \): \( f(0) = 0^2 = 0 \) (this does not match the output of 4).
  • Now we need to find \( y \) when \( x = 1 \): \( f(1) = (1)^2 = 1 \).

Thus, the missing value when \( x = 1 \) is \( y = 1 \).

So the final entry would be:

\( 1 ; | ; 1 \)

To summarize:

When \( x = 1 \), the corresponding \( y \) value is \( 1 \) according to \( f(x) = x^2 \).
