An even function satisfies the property \( f(-x) = f(x) \) for all \( x \).

From the table, we have:

  • \( f(-2) = 1 \)
  • \( f(-1) = -2 \)
  • \( f(0) = -3 \)

Using the property of even functions, we can find \( f(1) \):

Since \( f(-1) = -2 \), we have: \[ f(1) = f(-1) = -2 \]

Thus, the missing entry \( f(1) \) is \(-2\).

So the answer is: If \( f(x) \) is even, the missing entry is -2.
