For the following function, how do I construct a table. #y=3x; and -3<=x<=4#?

Ask for table (y):
X | Y |
-3 | |
-2 | |
-1 | |
0 | |
1 | |
2 | |
3 | |
4 | |

sorry I don't know how to draw a table here. Thank you

Please refer to the attached table of values.enter image source here

Explanation:

Lets calculate the values of y by substituting values of x which satisfy #-3<= x <=4#.

Attached is the table, please check thoroughly.

Hope this helps!

Choose an #x# value and multiply by #3# to get #y#

Explanation:

You are given two separate pieces of information.

#y = 3x# tells you that the value of #y# is obtained by multiplying an #x# value by #3#

The inequality tells you that you can use values of #x# from #-3# to #4#

So take an #x# value, multiply by #3# and that is the value for #y#

#y = 3(-3) = -9#
#y = 3(-2) = -6#
#y = 3(-1) = -3#

and so on..

This will give:

#x: -3" "-2" "-1" "0" "1" "2" "3" "4#
#y:-9" "-6" "-3" "0" "3" "6" "9" "12#
