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.
