Math Problem Statement

f(x) =x/3

Solution

The given function is f(x)=x3f(x) = \frac{x}{3}.

This function represents a linear equation where the slope is 13\frac{1}{3} and the y-intercept is 0 (i.e., the graph passes through the origin). In this function:

  • For any value of xx, you can find f(x)f(x) by dividing xx by 3.
  • It is a straight line with a gradual increase (slope = 13\frac{1}{3}), which means for every increase of 3 units in xx, f(x)f(x) increases by 1 unit.

Would you like more details on the graph, behavior, or properties of this function?

Here are 5 related questions to explore further:

  1. What is the slope of a linear function and how does it affect the graph?
  2. How do you graph the function f(x)=x3f(x) = \frac{x}{3}?
  3. How does the function change when a constant is added or subtracted to f(x)f(x)?
  4. What happens to the function f(x)f(x) as xx approaches infinity or negative infinity?
  5. Can you solve for xx if f(x)=4f(x) = 4?

Tip: For linear functions, the slope determines how steep the line is and in which direction it moves (positive or negative).
