Math Problem Statement

If f(x)=10x-3 then what is f(5)-f(2)

Solution

Given the function f(x)=10x3f(x) = 10x - 3, we are tasked with finding f(5)f(2)f(5) - f(2).

Step 1: Find f(5)f(5)

f(5)=10(5)3=503=47f(5) = 10(5) - 3 = 50 - 3 = 47

Step 2: Find f(2)f(2)

f(2)=10(2)3=203=17f(2) = 10(2) - 3 = 20 - 3 = 17

Step 3: Compute f(5)f(2)f(5) - f(2)

f(5)f(2)=4717=30f(5) - f(2) = 47 - 17 = 30

Thus, f(5)f(2)=30f(5) - f(2) = 30.
