To fill in the table based on the transformation you've mentioned, we need to analyze the function provided, \( f(x) = 3^x \), and the transformation \( -f(3x - 2) + 1 \).
Step-by-Step Breakdown
The function transformation involves two components:
- Horizontal Transformation: \( f(3x - 2) \) indicates that we are compressing the function horizontally by a factor of \( \frac{1}{3} \) and shifting it to the right by \( 2/3 \).
- Vertical Transformation: The negative sign and the \( +1 \) indicate that we are reflecting the function across the x-axis and then shifting it up by \( 1 \).
Original Function Values
We start with the original function, which is \( f(x) = 3^x \). The values of \( f(x) \) for a few \( x \) values will be:
- For \( x = 0 \), \( f(0) = 3^0 = 1 \)
- For \( x = 1 \), \( f(1) = 3^1 = 3 \)
- For \( x = 2 \), \( f(2) = 3^2 = 9 \)
- For \( x = 3 \), \( f(3) = 3^3 = 27 \)
- For \( x = 4 \), \( f(4) = 3^4 = 81 \)
Transformation Calculations
For the transformation \( -f(3x - 2) + 1 \):
- For \( x = 0 \), \( -f(3(0) - 2) + 1 = -f(-2) + 1 = -\frac{1}{9} + 1 = \frac{8}{9} \)
- For \( x = 1 \), \( -f(3(1) - 2) + 1 = -f(1) + 1 = -3 + 1 = -2 \)
- For \( x = 2 \), \( -f(3(2) - 2) + 1 = -f(4) + 1 = -81 + 1 = -80 \)
- For \( x = 3 \), \( -f(3(3) - 2) + 1 = -f(7) + 1 \) (calculate \( f(7) = 3^7 = 2187 \)), so \( -2187 + 1 = -2186 \)
- For \( x = 4 \), \( -f(3(4) - 2) + 1 = -f(10) + 1 \) (calculate \( f(10) = 3^{10} = 59049 \)), so \( -59049 + 1 = -59048 \)
Filling in the Table
Now we can fill in the values based on the transformation we calculated:
- Row 1: \( \frac{8}{9} \)
- Row 2: \( -2 \)
- Row 3: \( -80 \)
- Row 4: \( -2186 \)
If we align these results with your options: From the given options, some valid transformations to contribute can include:
- \( -3^{3x-2} + 1 \) corresponds to \( -f(3x - 2) + 1 \)
- Different constants from the transformations we organized.
Thus, the table could likely start with these transformations in the correct order given the options provided. However, without additional specific instructions on the exact number allocations, it's best to confirm with exact steps or mathematical verification if possible.
Solution Organization
Thus we would fill the first column with:
- \( -3^{3x-2} + 1 \)
- \( -3x + 3 \)
- \( 3 \)
- \( -3^{(3x-2)} \)
You can iteratively calculate based on the patterns observed for the specific steps, or validate each in a graphically interpretable fashion based on the initial function transformations mapped out.
If you can specify exact \(x\) values or target numbers for plotting, further refinements could be made!
