Question

Complete the table by evaluating the function h(x)=−2x−5 for the given values of x.

Answer 1

The function h(x) is defined as:

`h(x)\text{ = }-2x\text{ - 5}`

We can find the value of the h(x) at different values of x by substituting the value of x into the function

When x = -2:

`\begin{gathered} h(x=-2)\text{ = -2(-2) - 5} \\ =\text{ 4 - 5} \\ =\text{ -1} \end{gathered}`

When x =-1:

`\begin{gathered} h(x\text{ = -1) = -2(-1) - 5} \\ =\text{ 2 - 5} \\ =\text{ -3} \end{gathered}`

When x =1:

`\begin{gathered} h(x\text{ =1) = -2(1) -5} \\ =\text{ -7} \end{gathered}`
