Digital SAT Math Test 4 Question 8

Which table gives three values of $x$ and their corresponding values of $f(x)$ for the given function $f$?
$$f(x)=x^2+4$$
Answer:
A

Explanation

The correct answer is Choice A.

Substitute $x=1$, $x=2$, and $x=3$ into the given function $f(x)$ to find the corresponding values.

Choices B and C are incorrect because the corresponding values of $f(x)$ when $x=1$ and $x=3$ are wrong.

Choice D is incorrect because all of the corresponding values of $f(x)$ are wrong.

✨ Expert's Tip ✨

An alternate method is to plot the graph of the given function and then read the corresponding value of $y$ when $x=1$, $x=2$, and $x=3$.
