Math Problem Statement

Given g, of, x, equals, minus, x, plus, 4g(x)=−x+4, find g, of, minus, 6g(−6).

Solution

We are given the function g(x)=x+4g(x) = -x + 4 and are asked to find g(6)g(-6).

To do this, we substitute x=6x = -6 into the function g(x)g(x):

g(6)=(6)+4g(-6) = -(-6) + 4

Simplifying:

g(6)=6+4=10g(-6) = 6 + 4 = 10

So, g(6)=10g(-6) = 10.

Here are 5 related questions:

  1. How would you solve g(3)g(3) for g(x)=x+4g(x) = -x + 4?
  2. Can you find the inverse of the function g(x)=x+4g(x) = -x + 4?
  3. What is the domain and range of the function g(x)=x+4g(x) = -x + 4?
  4. How do you determine whether g(x)=x+4g(x) = -x + 4 is a one-to-one function?
  5. What does the graph of g(x)=x+4g(x) = -x + 4 look like?

Tip: When working with linear functions, remember that substituting values into the function will always yield the corresponding y-values on the graph of that function.
