1 Answer

Answer:

f(5) = 17

Explanation:

Function: f(x) = 3x + 2

x-value: 5

Equation: f(5) = 3(5) + 2

Solve:

f(5) = 3(5) + 2

f(5) = 15 + 2

f(5) = 17

Warning⚠

Many people thin that something like f(x) means that you are multiplying f and x. This is incorrect.

f(x) = 3x + 2 is the same as y = 3x + 2, the f is the name of the function, and you replace a number, like 5, for the x - value.
