Solution

This problem involves finding the value of aba - b for the function f(x)=15ax+bf(x) = \frac{15}{ax + b}, as shown by the arrow diagram.

To solve this, you should examine the relationship between the input values (the xx-values) and the output values (the function values or yy-values) shown in the diagram.

Here’s how we can approach it:

  1. Arrow diagram interpretation: The diagram provides values for xx and their corresponding f(x)f(x)-values. From the diagram, we can gather the following pairs:

    • When x=3x = -3, the function value f(x)=3f(x) = -3
    • When x=4x = -4, the function value f(x)=5f(x) = -5
  2. Setting up equations: We can now substitute these values into the function f(x)=15ax+bf(x) = \frac{15}{ax + b} and set up two equations:

    • For x=3x = -3, f(x)=3f(x) = -3, so: 15a(3)+b=3\frac{15}{a(-3) + b} = -3
    • For x=4x = -4, f(x)=5f(x) = -5, so: 15a(4)+b=5\frac{15}{a(-4) + b} = -5
  3. Solving the system of equations: Solve these two equations simultaneously to find aa and bb, and then calculate aba - b.
