Math Problem Statement

If f ( x )

7 x − 5 f ( x )

7 x

5 , then f ( x + 1 )

f ( x + 1 )

Solution

You are given the function f(x)=7x5f(x) = 7x - 5 and asked to find f(x+1)f(x+1).

To do this, we substitute x+1x + 1 into the function:

f(x+1)=7(x+1)5f(x + 1) = 7(x + 1) - 5

Now, simplify the expression:

f(x+1)=7x+75f(x + 1) = 7x + 7 - 5

f(x+1)=7x+2f(x + 1) = 7x + 2

Thus, f(x+1)=7x+2f(x+1) = 7x + 2.
