Math Problem Statement
1) Given that f(x) is a linear function where f(2) = 9 and f(-2) = -11, determine: (i) f(x), (ii) f(0.2). 2) Given that f(x) is a linear function where f(2) + f(3) = 0 and f(5) = 5, determine: (i) f(x), (ii) f(-2).
Solution
Let's solve these problems step by step.
1) Given that is a linear function where and , determine:
(i)
Since is linear, it can be written as: where is the slope and is the y-intercept.
-
Find the slope (): Using the formula for slope between two points:
-
Substitute into :
-
Find using one of the points, say : Substitute and :
-
Final equation:
(ii)
Substitute into :
2) Given that is a linear function where and , determine:
(i)
-
Express : Again, let:
-
Use the condition : Substitute and :
-
**Use the condition ( f(5) =
