Math Problem Statement

evaluate function f(x) = 3x-6 , f(1/3x) and f(x)/3

Solution

Let's evaluate the function f(x)=3x6f(x) = 3x - 6 for f(13x)f\left(\frac{1}{3}x\right) and f(x)3\frac{f(x)}{3}.

1. Evaluate f(13x)f\left(\frac{1}{3}x\right):

We substitute 13x\frac{1}{3}x into the function f(x)=3x6f(x) = 3x - 6.

f(13x)=3(13x)6f\left(\frac{1}{3}x\right) = 3\left(\frac{1}{3}x\right) - 6

Simplifying:

f(13x)=x6f\left(\frac{1}{3}x\right) = x - 6

2. Evaluate f(x)3\frac{f(x)}{3}:

We take the expression for f(x)=3x6f(x) = 3x - 6 and divide it by 3.

f(x)3=3x63\frac{f(x)}{3} = \frac{3x - 6}{3}

Simplifying:

f(x)3=x2\frac{f(x)}{3} = x - 2

Summary of Results:

  • f(13x)=x6f\left(\frac{1}{3}x\right) = x - 6
  • f(x)3=x2\frac{f(x)}{3} = x - 2
