Hey it Tya!
Hey ur welcome !
Hahah
F(5)= 3.(5)+2=15+2=17
Another example: F(0)=3.(0)+2=0+2=2
You just replace the value in the two sides.
Okay, so first you make f(x) = y and switch x and y. So the equation becomes:
x = y^2 - 16
The next step is to get y by itself. So first you add 16 to both sides:
x + 16 = y^2
Now you square root everything, so the final answer is going to be:
the square root of x + 4 = y
8-2 and then 3 divided by 6 which will give you 0.5 so x=0.5
So it's asking you to create an expression on how much you spent.
So you have already spent $30 on a DVD and $20 for a CD. And we don't know how much the videos are so that is x.
Your equation is going to be something like 30+20+5x but since it says it wants it in simplest form it's going to be 50+5x or 5x+50 either way that will be your equation answer. The reason it's that equation is because we know how much you spent already which is 50 and since you bought 5 videos of an unknown number that's how you get 5x.
50+5x
