To find the inverse of the function given in the table, we will swap the \(x\) and \(f(x)\) values.

The original function \(f(x)\) from the table is:

  • \(f(-3) = -10\)
  • \(f(-1) = -7\)
  • \(f(0) = 0\)
  • \(f(1) = 2\)
  • \(f(3) = 8\)

To find the inverse \(g(x)\), we swap the values:

  1. From \(f(-3) = -10\), we have \(g(-10) = -3\)
  2. From \(f(-1) = -7\), we have \(g(-7) = -1\)
  3. From \(f(0) = 0\), we have \(g(0) = 0\)
  4. From \(f(1) = 2\), we have \(g(2) = 1\)
  5. From \(f(3) = 8\), we have \(g(8) = 3\)

Putting those together, the inverse function \(g(x)\) can be summarized as:

\[ g(x) = \begin{cases} -3 & \text{if } x = -10 \ -1 & \text{if } x = -7 \ 0 & \text{if } x = 0 \ 1 & \text{if } x = 2 \ 3 & \text{if } x = 8 \ \end{cases} \]

Now we check the options given in your question.

The correct answer is:

Option 1: x −10 −7 0 2 8 g(x) −3 −1 0 1 3

So the inverse of the function given in the table is \(g(x) = -3, -1, 0, 1, 3\) for \(x = -10, -7, 0, 2, 8\) respectively.
