Question

If f(x) = x - 4, what does f(3) represent?

The value of (x - 4) when x = 3
The value if x when (x - 4) = 3
The value of 3f(x) when x = 3
The value of f(x) when (x - 4) = 3

Answer 1

make a guess, i bet you are right

Answer 2

@pooja195 @acxbox22

Answer 3

ok

Answer 4

f(3) = 3-4 ?

Answer 5

@pooja195

Answer 6

guess its the value of the function at x = 3. which is value of x-4 @ x=3

Answer 7

-1 @ribhu

Answer 8

value of f(3) is asked nowhere in the question.

Answer 9

@hello_hey @pooja195 this is it

Answer 10

? @ribhu

Answer 11

what is it?

Answer 12

i explained it no.. 1st option the value of x-4 @ x =3

Answer 13

@pooja195 i think you must have got it. @hello_hey

Answer 14

a? @ribhu you are confusing me i need a better explanation

Answer 15

im confused

Answer 16

same ^^^

Answer 17

why see lets say we have a function y = f(x)

Answer 18

@pooja195 may you just help me...

Answer 19

what is y?? y is the value of f(x) i.e. the function at x.

Answer 20

x=3

Answer 21

@pooja195 @hello_hey jus be a bit patient and pay attention.

Answer 22

@satellite73

Answer 23

@you better tell me which part you didn't understand?? @hello_hey

Answer 25

@pooja195 am i confusing? weren't you getting my explaination?

Answer 26

@ribhu it was a bit unclear :)

Answer 27

guys it is a simple explanation
plug 3 in for x and solve
this gives us no other answer but the first

Answer 28

question clearly says function is x-4 and there was nowhere mentioned to calculate the value of that function but we have to tell rather what does f(3) represents.

Answer 29

ok thank you @acxbox22

Answer 30

since you arent setting (x-4) equal to 3
you are simply plugging in 3 for x so
(3-4) when x is 3

Answer 31

@acxbox22 there is no need to solve. where it is written? rather tell what is f(3) representing?

Answer 32

ok, so the answer is a

Answer 33

@acxbox22

Answer 34

correct :)

Answer 35

thank you

Answer 36

so @acxbox22 you didn't explain clearly to @hello_hey

Answer 37

yes he did @ribhu

Answer 38

no he told u to calculate value but its not like that.

Answer 39

well the answer is a right?

Answer 40

read the answer carefully and explain me its meaning.

Answer 41

? @ribhu

Answer 42

@ribhu you can argue all you want
the point is the user understands the explanation and why the answer is what it is after i show them the answer itself using examples

Answer 43

see it says f(3) represents the value of x-4 (which is the function f(x)) at x = 3. thats what i have been explaining. @hello_hey @acxbox22 @pooja195
