Math Problem Statement

The function f is shown below: f(x) = 3x + 8. Work out the value of f(10).

Solution

The problem asks us to evaluate the value of f(10)f(10) for the function f(x)=3x+8f(x) = 3x + 8.

Solution:

  1. Start with the given function: f(x)=3x+8f(x) = 3x + 8

  2. Substitute x=10x = 10 into the function: f(10)=3(10)+8f(10) = 3(10) + 8

  3. Simplify the expression: f(10)=30+8=38f(10) = 30 + 8 = 38

Final Answer:

f(10)=38f(10) = 38

  2. How do you find f(x)f(x) when xx is a negative number, e.g., x=5x = -5?
  3. If f(x)=3x+8f(x) = 3x + 8, solve for xx when f(x)=20f(x) = 20.
  4. Can you graph the function f(x)=3x+8f(x) = 3x + 8, and where does it intersect the y-axis?
  5. How does the slope m=3m = 3 affect the graph of f(x)=3x+8f(x) = 3x + 8?

Tip: Always substitute the variable carefully and double-check arithmetic to avoid mistakes in evaluation!
