Question

find the indicated function values for the function $g(x) = 2x - 1$.

a. $g(0)$

b. $g(2)$

c. $g\left(\frac{3}{2}\
ight)$

d. $g(5b)$

e. $g(b + 7)$

a. $g(0) = -1$ (simplify your answer.)

b. $g(2) = 3$ (simplify your answer.)

c. $g\left(\frac{3}{2}\
ight) = 2$ (simplify your answer.)

d. $g(5b) = \square$ (simplify your answer.)

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute \( x = 5b \) into \( g(x) \)

The function is \( g(x)=2x - 1 \). Substitute \( x = 5b \) into the function, so we get \( g(5b)=2(5b)-1 \).

Step2: Simplify the expression

Simplify \( 2(5b)-1 \). First, calculate \( 2\times5b = 10b \), then subtract 1. So \( g(5b)=10b - 1 \).

Answer:

\( 10b - 1 \)
