Question

function notation practice
example: find f(8) when f(x) = 2x - 3.
f(8) = 2(8) - 3
f(8) = 16 - 3
f(8) = 13

now you try!

  1. use g(x) = 5x + 4 to evaluate the following.

a. g(1)
b. g(2)
c. g(3)
d. g(-4)
e. g(-10)
f. g(0)

  1. use h(x) = -2x + 9 to evaluate the following.

a. h(-1)
b. h(-2)
c. h(-3)
d. h(0)
e. h(12)
f. h(½)

  1. use f(x) = ½x - 2 to evaluate the following.

a. f(2)
b. f(4)
c. f(8)
d. f(0)
e. f(-8)
f. f(-12)

Explanation:

Response
1. a. Evaluate \( g(1) \) when \( g(x) = 5x + 4 \)

Step1: Substitute \( x = 1 \) into \( g(x) \)

\( g(1) = 5(1) + 4 \)

Step2: Simplify the expression

\( g(1) = 5 + 4 = 9 \)

Step1: Substitute \( x = 2 \) into \( g(x) \)

\( g(2) = 5(2) + 4 \)

Step2: Simplify the expression

\( g(2) = 10 + 4 = 14 \)

Step1: Substitute \( x = 3 \) into \( g(x) \)

\( g(3) = 5(3) + 4 \)

Step2: Simplify the expression

\( g(3) = 15 + 4 = 19 \)

Answer:

\( 9 \)

1. b. Evaluate \( g(2) \) when \( g(x) = 5x + 4 \)
