At a grocery store, the number of customers arriving per hour is shown by the function f(x) = 2x + 1. Find the number of customers that arrived in the 6th hour.
So by the 6th hour, your x=6
Thank you very much
That wasn't the whole answer, btw??
What's your answer? :D
i am not sure how to get the answer acually
So f(x) is a function where x is the variable. In this scenario x is 6. Can you plug that into the function f(x) = 2x+1?
2(6)+1
Yep
f(6) = 2*6+1
which then equals 13, which is the answer to how many customers that have arrived.
Not so hard, eh?
so you multiply 6 by 2 then add 1
no not so bad thank you very much
That's right, there's a multiplication there that is left out when writing, that might make it unclear when it's new. It actually says f(x) = 2*x+1, and you just put in whatever x you want.
Glad I could help.
ok thank you so much you really helped me out
