Math Problem Statement

Given g(x) = -5x + 1, find g(1).

Solution

The problem in the image asks to find g(1)g(1) for the function g(x)=5x+1g(x) = -5x + 1.

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. The function is given as: g(x)=5x+1g(x) = -5x + 1
  2. To find g(1)g(1), substitute x=1x = 1 into the function: g(1)=5(1)+1g(1) = -5(1) + 1
  3. Simplify the expression: g(1)=5+1=4g(1) = -5 + 1 = -4

So, the value of g(1)g(1) is 4-4.

  2. If g(x)=5x+1g(x) = -5x + 1, find g(1)g(-1).
  3. What is the slope of the function g(x)=5x+1g(x) = -5x + 1?
  4. Determine the y-intercept of the function g(x)=5x+1g(x) = -5x + 1.
  5. If g(x)=5x+1g(x) = -5x + 1, for what value of xx does g(x)=0g(x) = 0?

Tip: When substituting a value into a function, make sure to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction).
