Question

How would I convert this function into an equation ?

Answer 1

Definition

Functions have zeros or x-values that generate function values equal to zero.

Equations have roots or solutions that can be substituted into the polynomial in order to generate a value equal to zero.

Given:

`f(x)\text{ = -}(1)/(3)\sqrt[]{x}\text{ + 3}`

To convert this to an equation, we set f(x) equal to zero i.e

`f(x)\text{ = 0}`

The resulting equation is:

`-\text{ }(1)/(3)\sqrt[]{x}\text{ + 3 = 0}`
