f(x) = -4x + 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What needs to be done over here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so what you would do is plug in these values into th ex and solve and find what y equals so lets do the first one togehther

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(1)=-4(1)+6 f(1)=2 (1,2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did u follow?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol ok i will explain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we started off saying f(x)=-4x+6 so basically when it tells you f(1)=-4x+6 it means replace all x variables with 1 in this equation and then solve to find out what it would equal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so i will plug in 1 into the x variable so look: We want to find out what f equals ok? f=-4(1)+6 f=2 so when x equals 1 then f equals 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So lets see what f will equal when x is 2 f(2)=-4(2)+6 What does f equal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hellllooooo? are u there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what does f equal when x is 2? just do reg arithmetic

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey look i gave u the equation f(2)=-4(2)+6 Solve this for me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok dont worry i am chilled

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just want u to solve the equation I gave you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solve this for me f(2)=-4(2)+6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't look at last time solve the equation do arithmetice f=-4(2)+6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok I will help u solve this but this is basic arithmetic

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup :DDDDDDDDDDD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so when x is 2 f is -2 ok so we write it like this (2,-2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok shld we put another value for x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like try solving for f when x is 3 ok?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try it on ur own

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya y not?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so first write out the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup that is the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So i guess u know what to do from now on!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It was great working with u :D BYE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do u mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so either u can write it for example just 10 or f=10 or (-1,10)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well these are the only 3 ways i know of

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Idk what the computer wants LOL :D Computers are so complicating

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good bye

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Gonna go now
