can someone help clarify this question?

OpenStudy (leonardo0430):

If f(x) = 2x – 4 find f(q + 1): A. 2q + 4 B. 2q + 2 C. 2q – 6 D. 2q – 2

Nnesha (nnesha):

f(something) means x = something so f(q+1) would be x=q+1 sub x for q+1 and then simplify

OpenStudy (loser66):

hey, you know how to do it.

OpenStudy (loser66):

Last time, you perform well. Why do you ask the same type of question?

OpenStudy (leonardo0430):

would i plug in the x's? f(2)+4?

OpenStudy (loser66):

Nope

OpenStudy (loser66):

see (q+1) as the whole number like 8 or -5 or 3, do the same with last time, what do you get?

OpenStudy (leonardo0430):

(8+1) =9?

OpenStudy (leonardo0430):

so would q basically be x?

OpenStudy (loser66):

ok, answer me , take very slow step \(f(\color{red}{x})=2*\color{red}{x}-4\) Now, \(f(\color{red}{5})=2*\color{red}{5}-4\), right? \(f(\color{red}{9})=2*\color{red}{9}-4\), ok?

OpenStudy (loser66):

Ok??

OpenStudy (loser66):

\(f(\color{red}{(q+1)})=2*\color{red}{?}-4\)

OpenStudy (leonardo0430):

but what number would be q?

OpenStudy (loser66):

who cares?

OpenStudy (loser66):

if they ask you to put q there, just let it there. The option choices have q also.

OpenStudy (loser66):

If x is a variable, why not q?

OpenStudy (leonardo0430):

so f(q+1)= 2x 1-4 ?

OpenStudy (loser66):

\(f(\color{red}{(q+1)})=2*\color{red}{(q+1)}-4\)

OpenStudy (loser66):

Hey, are you teasing me? try to burn me out??

OpenStudy (leonardo0430):

im really sorry im literaly doing multiple work for other stuff right now if you want you can go i will eventually get it thankyou for your time tho i really appreciate it thanks

OpenStudy (loser66):

Multiple work at the same time?? That's why you don't pay attention to the thing you mastered before.
