Write a function rule for the table.
f(x) = 4 – x
f(x) = –4x
f(x) = x + 4
f(x) = x – 4

Answer:
f(x) = x – 4
checking for all the functions by replacing x as 3
f(x) = 4 – x
f(3) = 4 - 3
f(3) = 1
does not match
f(x) = –4x
f(3) = -4(3)
f(3) = -12
does not match
f(x) = x + 4
f(3) = 3 + 4
f(3) = 7
does not match
f(x) = x – 4
f(3) = 3 - 4
f(3) = -1
matches
Answer:
f(x) = x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The options are:
f(x) = 4 – x
f(x) = –4x
f(x) = x + 4
f(x) = x – 4
For f(x) = 4 – x, when x=3, f(x)=1 so it cannot be right.
For f(x) = –4x, when x=3, f(x)=-12 so it cannot be right either.
f(x) = x + 4, when x=3, f(x)=7 so it cannot be right.
The only choice left which is also the right answer is f(x) = x – 4
