Final answer:
The function value f(x) is the output of the function for a given input x. The provided solution set includes ordered pairs representing input-output correspondences. For each input x in the set {6, 2, 4, 7}, the function values are 3, 7, 5, and 8 accordingly.
Step-by-step explanation:
If a function y=f(x) has a solution set {(6,3), (2,7), (4,5), (7,8)}, what is asked here is what value is returned by the function f for a given input x. In this context, the solution set is comprised of ordered pairs where the first number in each pair represents the input x, and the second number represents the output y, which is f(x).
For example, the pair (6,3) means that when x is 6, f(x) (or y) is 3. To put this into the context of a school setting, consider the function as a rule or a machine that you give a number to (input), and it gives you a number back (output). Here, the function values, or the outputs for the given inputs, are 3, 7, 5, and 8 respectively. It's like using a calculator where you enter a number (x), press a function, and get a result (f(x)).
