Question

Select the correct answer.

Answer 1

Remember x is x and f(x) is same thing as y.

f(5) = 4

It is same thing as saying, when x = 5, y aka f(x) should be 4. Aka the point (5,4)

Let’s look at D, if x =5 then f(x)=5? No, it should equal 4. So this is wrong. It is also not linear. So NOT D

Lets look at C, if x =5 then
1/5(5)+3 =
5/5 + 3 =
1+3 =
4

So, f(x) aka y = 4. Is this correct? Yes when x =5, y indeed should equal 4, but it is not linear. So NOT C

Lets look at B, if x=5 then,
2^5 -28 =
32 - 28 =
4

So, f(x) aka y = 4. Is this correct? Yes when x =5, y indeed should equal 4, AND it is linear SO THE ANSWER IS B

Check A too, it gets y=14 so thats wrong as it is not 4.
