Question

For the function shown in the table, which output is incorrect? y = 12 - x x y 5 8 A 6 6 B 7 5 C 8 4 D

Answer 1

For the function y = 12 - x, the incorrect output provided in the table is for x = 5, which should be y = 7, making the table's y = 8 incorrect (option A).

Step-by-step explanation:

For the function given by y = 12 - x, we need to verify which output provided in the options is incorrect. The table shows pairs of x and y values; we can check each one against the function:

• For x = 5: y should be 12 - 5 = 7. However, the table shows y = 8, so option A is incorrect.
• For x = 6: y should be 12 - 6 = 6, which corresponds to the table.
• For x = 7: y should be 12 - 7 = 5, which corresponds to the table.
• For x = 8: y should be 12 - 8 = 4, which corresponds to the table.

Therefore, the incorrect output is option A with x = 5 and y = 8.
