Question

P(x+1)=5x+1, find p(x)​

Answer 1

p(x) = 5·x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is p(x + 1) = 5·x + 1

Therefore, the function takes a variable, x + 1 and gives the a result of 1 added to 5 times 1 less the variable x + 1 as follows;

p(x + 1) = 5 × ((x + 1) - 1) + 1

Therefore, the vale of the function p(x) is given as follows;

p(x) = 5 × ((x) - 1) + 1 = 5·x - 5 + 1 = 5·x - 4

p(x) = 5·x - 4
