How in the world do I survive life

Jk so this problem is asking you to find the solutions in that formula. For example, if you plug -1 into the equation, you don’t get -1 as an result, so -1 is not an answer of that question, it’s just asking what number x when plugged in the equation f would equal x as the result as well

lowkey:

Try all the other numbers, it’s not B. If you plug in -2, you get 2/3 and those two are not the same.

Oof. Someone gave me warnings not to give answers. I wonder who. Hmmmm.

The rule of question cove is to help someone out lmao

so D?

lock:

2/-2+1 = -1 2/2+1 = 2

Vocaloid:

remember order of operations 2/(2+1) is 2/3, not 2

Vocaloid:

so using process of elimination, any answer with 2 in it must not work, so B, D, and E are out when you plug in x = -1, do you also get -1 as the result?

lock:

no

lock:

i get 0

Vocaloid:

awesome, so A doesn't work either using process of elimination that narrows us down to C as the only possibility you can verify this yourself by plugging in x = -2 to give f(x) = -2 and x = 1 to give f(x) = 1

got it thank you all!
