The answer is 1/2
The function f(x) is defined as f(x) = (1/6)x. To find the value of f(x) when x = 3, we substitute 3 for x in the function:
f(3) = (1/6)(3)
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
f(3) = (1 * 3) / (6)
The numerator simplifies to 3:
f(3) = 3 / 6
The fraction can be simplified further by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 3:
f(3) = 1 / 2
Therefore, the value of f(x) when x = 3 is 1/2.
