Question

Consider the table below that represents a function.

Which number(s) below can be placed in the empty cell so that the table continues to represent a function? Select all that apply.

1. -17
2. -8
3. -3
4. 2
5. 5
6. 8
7. 15

Answer 1

-8, -3, 2, and 15

Explanation:

It's because you cannot have two of the same input with two different outputs.

Answer 2

-3 and 2 should work

-17, 5, 8 will not work since they are already in the table and we know that the output will not be 9

about -8 and 15, I am not sure if they will work or not, but I think they will not

This is the first problem that I am so confused about, they probably want you to determine the function that is being used but that is really hard to do with only inputs and outputs.
