Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
Part A: In the table given above, every input value has exactly one output value. No input value gives two different output value. Therefore, the data in the table represents a function.
Part B: in the table given, when x = 4, y = 9. That is, f(4) = 9.
Given the relation f(x) = 2x - 8, to find what value it would give us, when x = 4, substitute x = 4 into the relation.
f(4) = 2(4) - 8 = 8 - 8
f(4) = 0
Therefore, the relation in the table has a greater value when x = 4.
Part C: using, f(x) = 2x - 8, when f(x) = 34, value of x would be calculated as shown below:
34 = 2x - 8
Add 8 to both sides
34 + 8 = 2x
42 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2
42/2 = x
21 = x
x = 21
