Math Problem Statement

f(x) = (3/2)x - 4

Solution

The function provided in the image is:

f(x)=32x4f(x) = \frac{3}{2}x - 4

This is a linear function, where:

  • The slope (or rate of change) is 32\frac{3}{2}.
  • The y-intercept is 4-4, which is the point where the graph of the function intersects the y-axis.

To analyze this function further:

  1. Domain: The domain of f(x)f(x) is all real numbers, as there are no restrictions on xx.
  2. Range: Since this is a linear function, the range is also all real numbers.
  3. Graph: The graph of this function would be a straight line with a positive slope, rising from left to right, and intersecting the y-axis at 4-4.

Here are five related questions you might consider:

  1. How would you find the x-intercept of f(x)=32x4f(x) = \frac{3}{2}x - 4?
  2. What is the effect of changing the slope on the graph of this function?
  3. How does the y-intercept affect the position of the graph?
  4. How would you find the inverse of f(x)=32x4f(x) = \frac{3}{2}x - 4?
  5. How can you determine if this function is increasing or decreasing?

Tip: The slope of a linear function determines the steepness and direction of the line; a positive slope means the line goes up as you move right, while a negative slope means it goes down.
