Math Problem Statement

g(x)=3×+8

Solution

It looks like the function g(x)g(x) you provided might contain a typographical error. If the function is intended to be g(x)=3x+8g(x) = 3x + 8, here's an analysis:

Properties of g(x)=3x+8g(x) = 3x + 8:

  1. Linear Function: g(x)g(x) is a linear equation.
  2. Slope: The coefficient of xx, which is 3, represents the slope. This means the line rises by 3 units for every 1 unit increase in xx.
  3. Y-Intercept: The constant 88 is the y-intercept, where the graph crosses the yy-axis (g(0)=8g(0) = 8).
  4. Domain and Range: The domain and range of g(x)g(x) are both all real numbers (R\mathbb{R}).
  5. Increasing Function: Since the slope is positive (3>03 > 0), g(x)g(x) is strictly increasing.

If this was not your intended function, please provide clarification or a corrected version.

Would you like further details about graphing or solving related problems? Here are five follow-up questions for deeper exploration:

  1. What is the value of g(x)g(x) when x=2x = 2?
  2. How do you determine the x-intercept of the function g(x)=3x+8g(x) = 3x + 8?
  3. What transformations occur if the function is modified to g(x)=3x5g(x) = 3x - 5?
  4. Can you derive the inverse of the function g(x)=3x+8g(x) = 3x + 8?
  5. How would the graph of g(x)g(x) change if the slope was negative?

Tip: When working with linear functions, always identify the slope and intercept as key features—they provide the structure of the graph and behavior of the function.
