To determine the missing value, we need to understand that the function \( f(x) = x^2 \) maps each value \( x \) in the left oval to its corresponding value \( y \) in the right oval.
To find the missing value, follow these steps:
- Identify the values listed in the left oval (x values).
- Calculate the \( y \) values for each \( x \) using the function \( f(x) = x^2 \).
- Check which \( y \) value is missing based on the calculated values.
Without the ability to view the image directly, I'll provide a sample calculation based on hypothetical x values. For example, if \( x \) values in the left oval are 1, 2, 3, and the corresponding \( y \) values would be:
- For \( x = 1 \): \( f(1) = 1^2 = 1 \)
- For \( x = 2 \): \( f(2) = 2^2 = 4 \)
- For \( x = 3 \): \( f(3) = 3^2 = 9 \)
If one of the \( y \) values (like 1, 4, or 9) is missing from the right oval, that would be the value you're looking for.
If you provide the specific x values and the corresponding y values from your image, I can help find the missing value directly.
