2. A function fis given by f: x→ 5x-8, where x € R. Find
a. f(-4)
b. the value of x whose image is 12


Sagot :

Answer:

a. -28

b. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

f: x→ 5x-8

a. f(-4) = 5(-4) - 8 = -20 - 8. = -28

b. the value of x whose image is 12

To find the value of x ,we have to solve f(x) = 12

f(x) = 12

⇔ 5x-8 = 12

⇔ 5x = 12 + 8

⇔ 5x = 20

⇔ x =  20 ÷ 5 = 4
