Twice the difference of x and 5 is -33

2*(x-5) = -33, so x-5 = -16.5, so x = -11.5

This is assuming that "the difference between a and b" is a-b, which seems to be the accepted interpretation.

Given the function f(x)=4|x-5|+3 for what values of x is f(x)=15
Andreyy89

Answer:

  {2, 8}

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find x for ...

  15 = 4|x -5| +3

  12 = 4|x -5| . . . . subtract 3

  3 = |x -5| . . . . . . divide by 4

  ±3 = x -5 . . . . . . show the meaning of absolute value

  5 ±3 = x = {2, 8} . . . . . add 5

The values of x for which f(x) = 15 are 2 and 8.

If f(x)=3x+2, find f(f^-1(14))
krek1111 [17]
F(x) = 3x + 2x = 3f-1(x) + 2x - 2 = 3f-1(x)(x - 2)/3 = f-1(x)(14 - 2)/3 = f-1(14)12/3 = f-1(14)4 = f-1(14)   f(f-1(14)) = f(4)f(4) = 3(4) + 2f(4) = 12 + 2f(4) = 14 A function and its inverse are inverse operations, like addition and subtraction. They undo each other. f(f-1(x) = x
