Whats the problem?
For the function y = f(x), what is the ordered pair for the point on the graph when x = 3n - 4? (3n - 4, f(n)) (3n - 4, f(3n - 4)) (x, f(3n)) (x, 3n - 4)
@Lexi00
i would say the first one but not100% sure
thanks for trying but y do you say so
It's the last one. (x, 3n-4)
Plug in the value of x where you see x. (x, f(x)) (3n - 4, f(3n - 4))
The ordered pair (3n - 4, f(3n - 4)) means: The point whose x-coordinate is 3n - 4, and whose y-coordinate is the function f(x) evaluated at 3n - 4.
For any function f(x), the ordered pairs are: (x, f(x)) Since in this case x = 3n - 4, we replace x with 3n - 4, and we get (3n - 4, f(3n - 4)).
thanks so much @mathstudent55
You're welcome.
Another way of remembering this. The ordered pairs are usually (x, y). In this problem you are told that y is the function f. You are given that y = f(x). Replace y with f(x) in the ordered pair, and you get (x, f(x)) Now, in this case, when x = 3n - 4, replace x with 3n - 4 in both x and in f(x), and you get our answer.
