1 answer

To complete the input-output table for the function \( f(x) = - (x + 1)^2 + 4 \), we will calculate \( f(x) \) for each given value of \( x \).

  1. For \( x = -1 \): \[ f(-1) = -((-1 + 1)^2) + 4 = -(0^2) + 4 = 4 \]

  2. For \( x = 0 \): \[ f(0) = -((0 + 1)^2) + 4 = -1^2 + 4 = -1 + 4 = 3 \]

  3. For \( x = 1 \): \[ f(1) = -((1 + 1)^2) + 4 = -2^2 + 4 = -4 + 4 = 0 \]

  4. For \( x = 2 \): \[ f(2) = -((2 + 1)^2) + 4 = -3^2 + 4 = -9 + 4 = -5 \]

Now we can summarize the results in a table format:

| \( x \) | \( f(x) \) | |----------|------------| | -1 | 4 | | 0 | 3 | | 1 | 0 | | 2 | -5 |

From the outputs calculated:

  • \( f(-1) = 4 \)
  • \( f(0) = 3 \)
  • \( f(1) = 0 \)
  • \( f(2) = -5 \)

The largest output is \( f(-1) = 4 \).

Therefore, the value of \( x \) that produces the largest output for the function is:

x = -1
