EXAMPLE 1 Standardized Test Practice SOLUTION Substitute several values of h into the equation C = h and solve for C.Then identify the table that contains the solutions.
EXAMPLE 1 Standardized Test Practice h -value Substitute for h. Evaluate. Solution (h, C) h = 1C = (1) h = 2 h = 3 h = 4 C = (2) C = (3) C = (4) C = 17 C = 24 C = 31 C = 38 (1, 17) (2, 24) (3, 31) (4, 38) ANSWER The correct answer is C.
