Tell what the output value is for the function machine for the given values.
x
down to
x_____x^2 + _____X^2 +1 down to x^2 +1
It looks like a machine.
A)5 B)9 C)-7 D)1/2 E)t
Can you show how it is to be done
Certainly! To determine the output value for the given function machine, we need to follow the steps provided and evaluate the expression. Let's break it down step by step:
1. Start with the variable x.
2. Down to (x^2 + _____).
This means we need to replace the blank with the value of x, so we have (x^2 + x^2).
3. Down to (x^2 +1).
Again, we replace the blank with the value of x, resulting in (x^2 + 1).
4. Finally, the output value is the expression obtained from the previous step.
Now, to determine the specific output value, we need to know the value of x. Without the actual value of x given in the question, it is impossible to determine the exact output value.
The answer choices given (A) 5, (B) 9, (C) -7, (D) 1/2, and (E) t, may represent different possibilities for the value of x. For example, if x = 2, then the output value would be (2^2 + 1) = 5, corresponding to option (A).
Therefore, the specific output value depends on the actual value of x, which is not provided in the question.
