F(x)=2x-5
Insert the value of x which is x+1 ->
F(x+1)= 2(x+1)-5
Distribute ->
F(x+1)=2x+2-5
Then, add like terms->
F(x+1)=2x-3

Answer: The required expression for f(x+1) is 2x-3.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given the following function :


f(x)=2x-5~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

We are to find the expression for f(x+1).

To find the expression for f(x+1), we need to substitute x+1 in place of x in (i).

So, we get from expression (i) that


f(x+1)\\\\=2(x+1)-5\\\\=2x+2-5\\\\=2x-3.

Thus, the required expression for f(x+1) is 2x-3.
