let the function be f defined by f (x) = 12 - 5x
(a) is it true that f (0) = 0 ? explain why or why not.
(b) evaluate f (-1)
(c) what value of a will make the equation f (a) = 6 true?

Respuesta :

Answer

a)no

Step-by-step explanation:

a)12-5(0)

=12 not 0

b)12-5(-1)

=17

c)12-5x=6

-5x=6-12

x=1.2

hope it helps:)

Evaluating the function, it is found that:

a) No, since [tex]f(0) = 12[/tex], as when we replace x by 0, the value of y is 12.

b) [tex]f(-1) = 17[/tex]

c) [tex]a = \frac{6}{5}[/tex]

The function given is:

[tex]f(x) = 12 - 5x[/tex]

Item a:

f(0) is given by:

[tex]f(0) = 12 - 5(0) = 12[/tex]

So it is not true, since [tex]f(0) = 12[/tex].

Item b:

[tex]f(-1) = 12 - 5(-1) = 12 + 5 = 17[/tex]

Item c:

This is the value of x when f(x) = 6, thus:

[tex]12 - 5x = 6[/tex]

[tex]5x = 6[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{6}{5}[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]a = \frac{6}{5}[/tex]
