Is f (x) = 6x + 2 a linear function or not? WHAT IS THE M AND B​
Volgvan
<h3><u>Explanation</u></h3>

A linear function has an equation of y = mx+b where m = slope and b = y-intercept. The function also has a line graph. By a line graph, the graph must have slope. That means the slope must not equal to 0 or undefined to be a linear function.

<u>Further</u><u> </u><u>Explanation</u>

A linear function has both domain and range as set of all real numbers because you are able to solve for x-term when inputting any y-value or solve for y-term when inputting any x-value. We can also find the x-intercept by substituting the value of y to 0 and basically solve for x-term. If we want to know the y-intercept, we can substitute x-term to 0 and solve for y. But most people would only look at b-term from y = mx+b because b-term is the y-intercept of function.

<h3><u>Answer</u></h3>

From your question, the function is indeed a linear function. The m-term and b-term both are from y = mx+b where m = slope and b = y-intercept.

Therefore, from y=6x+2. The m-value would be 6 and b-value would be 2

If f(x)=x+3 and g(x)=x-3 find (f-g)(x)
maw [93]

Answer:

(f-g)(x)=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x)=x+3\\g(x)=x-3

To find  (f-g)(x)

Solution:

In order to find  (f-g)(x) we will subtract the function g(x) from f(x)

So, we have:

(f-g)(x)=f(x)-g(x)

Plugging in f(x) and  g(x) in the above combinations of functions.

(f-g)(x)=(x+3)-(x-3)

Simplifying by removing the parenthesis and reversing the signs of the terms in the parenthesis after the negative.

(f-g)(x)=x+3-x+3

Combining like terms.

(f-g)(x)=x-x+3+3

∴  (f-g)(x)=6
