1. **Match each equation with the description of the function it represents:**
- a. $f(x) = 2x + 4$
- b. $g(x) = 2(x + 4)$
- c. $h(x) = 4x + 2$
- d. $k(x) = 4(x + 2)$
**Descriptions:**
1. Add 4 to input, then multiply by 2.
2. Add 2 to input, then multiply by 4.
3. Multiply input by 2, then add 4.
4. Multiply input by 4, then add 2.
**Matching:**
- a matches description 3 because $f(x) = 2x + 4$ means multiply input by 2, then add 4.
- b matches description 1 because $g(x) = 2(x + 4)$ means add 4 to input, then multiply by 2.
- c matches description 4 because $h(x) = 4x + 2$ means multiply input by 4, then add 2.
- d matches description 2 because $k(x) = 4(x + 2)$ means add 2 to input, then multiply by 4.
2. **Function P represents the perimeter of a square with side length $x$ inches.**
**a. Complete the table:**
The perimeter of a square is given by the formula:
$$P = 4x$$
Calculate $P(x)$ for each $x$:
- $P(0) = 4 \times 0 = 0$
- $P(1) = 4 \times 1 = 4$
- $P(2) = 4 \times 2 = 8$
- $P(3) = 4 \times 3 = 12$
- $P(4) = 4 \times 4 = 16$
- $P(5) = 4 \times 5 = 20$
- $P(6) = 4 \times 6 = 24$
**Table:**
| $x$ | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
|-----|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $P(x)$ | 0 | 4 | 8 | 12 | 16 | 20 | 24 |
**b. Write an equation to represent function P:**
$$P(x) = 4x$$
**c. Sketch a graph of function P:**
The graph is a straight line passing through the origin $(0,0)$ with slope 4, showing that as side length $x$ increases, perimeter $P(x)$ increases by 4 times $x$.
This completes the first problem fully.
