The table represents the function f (x) = 3x-1
x, f(x)
-5, a
-2, -7
4, b
8, c
Use the drop-downs to choose the values of a, b, and, c to complete the table

In this question, we need to determined the value of a, b and c.Thus, the value of a = -16, b = 11 and c= 23.

Given:

Function f(x) = 3 x - 1

x:      -5,    -2,    4,    8

f(x):    a,   -7,    b,     c

According to the question,

We have to find the values in the table must satisfy the equation:

It is given that function f(x) = 3 x - 1

Now, find the value of a,

a = f (-5) = 3(-5) -1 = -16

Now, find the value of b,

b = f (4) = 3(4) -1 = 11

Now, find the value of c,

c = f (8) = 3(8) -1 = 23

Thus, the value of a = -16, b = 11 and c= 23.

a=-16, b=11, c=23

Step-by-step explanation:

The values in the table must satisfy the equation:

Also,

Lastly,

ab will be equal to

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
