To determine the missing value in the function \( f(x) = x^2 \), we need to look at the values listed in the left oval (x-values) and their corresponding outputs in the right oval (y-values).
The function \( f(x) = x^2 \) maps each x-value to its square. So if we have an x-value, say \( a \), the corresponding y-value is \( f(a) = a^2 \).
Here’s how you would find the missing value:
- Identify the x-values listed in oval x.
- Calculate the corresponding y-values using the function \( f(x) = x^2 \).
- Match the calculated y-values with those listed in oval y to identify which value is missing.
For example, if the x-values are 1, 2, and 3, the corresponding y-values would be:
- For \( x = 1 \), \( f(1) = 1^2 = 1 \)
- For \( x = 2 \), \( f(2) = 2^2 = 4 \)
- For \( x = 3 \), \( f(3) = 3^2 = 9 \)
Assuming you identified that one of the y-values that should correspond to an x-value is missing, you would write that value based on your calculations.
If you provide the specific values that are listed in the ovals, I would be able to help you find the exact missing value.
