If f(x) = x − 8, find the following.

How do I find f(p)

Thank you

f(x) = x-8 for whatever value x has. So, if x=p,

f(p) = p-8

Just replace x with the desired value throughout the entire line.

thank you Steve

To find f(p), you simply need to substitute the value of p into the function f(x).

Given that f(x) = x - 8, to find f(p), replace x with p in the expression f(x) = x - 8:

f(p) = p - 8

Therefore, the value of f(p) is p - 8.

Let's say, for example, if p = 10, then you can find f(10) by substituting p = 10 into the equation:

f(10) = 10 - 8
= 2

So, f(10) is equal to 2.

You can find f(p) for any value of p by plugging it into the equation f(x) = x - 8 and simplifying the expression.
