Answer
f(3) = -1, f(2) = -3, f(1) = -5, f(0) = -7, f(-1) = -9
g(3) = 125, g(2) = 25, g(1) = 5, g(0) = 1, g(-1) = 0.2
Explanation:
Given the following functions
f(x) =2x - 7
g(x) = 5^x
find f(3), f(2), f(1), f(0), and f(-1)
for the first function
f(x) = 2x - 7
f(3) means substitute x = 3 into the function
f(3) = 2(3) - 7
f(3) = 6 - 7
f(3) =-1
f(2), let x = 2
f(2) = 2(2) - 7
f(2) = 4 - 7
f(2) =-3
f(1) = 2(1) - 7
f(1) = 2 - 7
f(1) =-5
f(0) = 2(0) - 7
f(0) =0 - 7
f(0) = -7
f(-1) = 2(-1) - 7
f(-1) = -2 - 7
f(-1) = -9
g(x) = 5^x
find g(3), g(2), g(1), g(0), and g(-1)
g(3), substitute x = 3
g(3) = 5^3
g(3) = 5 x 5 x 5
g(3) = 125
g(2) = 5^2
g(2) = 5 x 5
g(2) = 25
g(1) = 5^1
g(1) = 5
g(0) = 5^0
any number raised to the power of zero = 1
g(0) = 1
g(-1) = 5^-1
g(-1) = 1/5
g(-1) = 0.2
