I am having a problem with solving this Given the function f described by f(x)=x+3, find each of the following:
f(0)
f(-13)
f(-12)
f(1)
f(4+8)
can you help me please?
first one f(0) = 0+3 = 3
last one f(4+8) = f(12) = 12+3 = 15
Of course! I'd be happy to help you solve this problem.
The given function is f(x) = x + 3. To find the value of f(x) for a given value of x, you simply substitute that value into the function.
Let's solve each part of the problem step by step:
1. To find f(0), substitute 0 into the function:
f(0) = 0 + 3 = 3
2. To find f(-13), substitute -13 into the function:
f(-13) = -13 + 3 = -10
3. To find f(-12), substitute -12 into the function:
f(-12) = -12 + 3 = -9
4. To find f(1), substitute 1 into the function:
f(1) = 1 + 3 = 4
5. To find f(4+8), first evaluate the expression inside the parentheses:
4+8 = 12.
Then, substitute the result (12) into the function:
f(4+8) = 12 + 3 = 15
So, the values you are looking for are:
f(0) = 3
f(-13) = -10
f(-12) = -9
f(1) = 4
f(4+8) = 15
I hope this explanation helps you understand how to solve the problem. Let me know if you have any further questions!
