let f(x)=-5x+6 find and simplify f(x+2)
f(x+2)=____
replace the x with x+2
f(x+2 = 5(x+2) + 6
= 5x + 16
didn't notice that little - in front of the 5
f(x+2) = -5(x+2) + 6
you finish it this time
To find and simplify f(x+2), you need to substitute (x+2) into the original function f(x) and simplify the expression.
Given that f(x) = -5x + 6, we substitute (x+2) for x in the function:
f(x+2) = -5(x+2) + 6
Now, let's distribute the -5 across the expression:
f(x+2) = -5x - 10 + 6
Combine like terms:
f(x+2) = -5x - 4
So, f(x+2) simplifies to -5x - 4.
