Question

In Exercises ***, find the value of x so that the function has the given value.4. f(x) = 6x; f(x) = -245. g(x) = -10x; g(x) = 15

Answer 1

We have to find the value of x, such that the function:

`f(x)=6x`

takes the value -24. This means that such x has to satisfy:

`\begin{gathered} f(x)=-24 \\ 6x=-24 \end{gathered}`

Now, we just clear out the variable x. We obtain:

`\begin{gathered} x=-(24)/(6) \\ x=-4 \end{gathered}`

This means that the value x=-4 makes the function f to be -24.
