Question

If f(x) = x - 7, then what is ƒ (8)?

Answer 1

Explanation:

we use a function as a kind of recipe or template for an actual calculation (or actual "ingredients").

as long as we don't handle the actual food items or actual numbers, it all stays theoretical. variables have no actual value and represent every possible case with every possible value.

but as soon as we get an actual unit value (like 8 in our case), we can put it in place of the variables (that are really nothing else but placeholders for actual values) and simply caucuses the result.

so,

when the question asks what is f(8), it really means what is the result when x = 8.

therefore,

f(8) = 8 - 7 = 1

that's it. that is the whole thing. no mystery, magic or genius strikes necessary.

Answer 2

`\sf \: f(8) = 1`

Explanation:

Given function,

→ f(x) = x - 7

Now we have to,

→ Find the required value of f(8).

We have to use,

→ x = 8

Then the value of f(8) will be,

→ f(x) = x - 7

→ f(8) = 8 - 7

→ [ f(8) = 1 ]

Hence, the value of f(8) is 1.
