Which table gives four values of and their corresponding values of for the given exponential function?
Explanation
Answer: B. x: -6,0,6,12; f(x): 12,24,48,96
Explanation:1. Evaluate the function for each of the common x-values used in the tables: .

Compare these calculated values with the values in each option's table: We are looking for the table with: x = -6, f(x) = 12 x = 0, f(x) = 24 x = 6, f(x) = 48 x = 12, f(x) = 96
[A] x: -6,0,6,12; f(x): 12,,48,96 (Incorrect, is , not ) [B] x: -6,0,6,12; f(x): 12,24,48,96 (This matches all our calculated values) [C] x: -6,0,6,12; f(x): ,24,48,96 (Incorrect, is , not ) [D] x: -6,0,6,12; f(x): 12,24,48, (Incorrect, is , not )

Identify the correct table: Table [B] matches all calculated values.
-
Conclusion: The table that gives four correct values of x and their corresponding values of for the given exponential function is option [B].
