The missing value of the function point:
To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:
Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: Set up the equation based on the given condition. We know that
and we need . So we equate:
.
Step 2: Solve for using the square root rule, which tells us that if , then .
Applying this to our equation:
.
Calculate the square root: .
Therefore, the solutions are and .
Thus, we have and .
Among the given choices, and is the correct choice.
Therefore, the missing value is and .

The missing value of the function point:
\( f(x)=x^2 \)
\( f(?)=16 \)
Because both positive and negative numbers give the same result when squared! Since 8² = 64 and (-8)² = 64, both x = 8 and x = -8 are correct solutions.
Always use the plus-minus symbol (±) when taking square roots: x = ±√64. This reminds you that there are two solutions to check.
You can still find both solutions! For example, if x² = 50, then x = ±√50 = ±5√2. Just leave your answer in radical form if it doesn't simplify to a whole number.
Not always! If x² = 0, there's only one solution: x = 0. And if x² equals a negative number (like x² = -4), there are no real solutions because you can't take the square root of a negative number.
Substitute each solution back into the original equation. For f(x) = x²:
Both should give you the same result!
