My son needs help with this question. Please help.

Write a function rule for each table.
x | f(x)
1 | 0.5
2 | 1
3 | 1.5
4 | 2

Any and all help is greatly appreciated since this is something that I am not familiar with.

It looks to me like f(x) is one-half of x. Write that as an algebraic term.

f(X)=1/2x

To find the function rule for each table, we need to look for a pattern in the given x and f(x) values.

In this case, we can observe that the f(x) values are increasing by 0.5 each time the x value increases by 1.

From this pattern, we can conclude that the function rule relates the f(x) values to the x values by multiplying the x value by 0.5.

So, the function rule can be written as:
f(x) = 0.5 * x

This means that for any value of x, if we multiply it by 0.5, we will get the corresponding f(x) value.
