Question

Solve y=f(x) for x. Then find the input when the output is −3. f(x)=−7x−2 x= The input is when the output is −3.

Answer 1

Answer:

The input is 1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

If y =f(x)

Given that f(x) = -7x -2, then y = -7x-2

x is the input

y is the output

Given the output y = -3, we are to find the input value x

Recall that y = -7x-2

On substituting the value of y into the equation

-3 = -7x - 2

-7x = -3+2

-7x = -1

x = -1/-7

x = 1/7

Hence the input is 1/7
