Q. Given h(x)=−x+3, solve for x when h(x)=0.Answer:
Set Equation to 0: Set the function h(x) equal to 0. We are given h(x)=−x+3 and need to find x when h(x)=0. So, we set up the equation 0=−x+3.
Solve for x: Solve for x.To find x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.We can do this by adding x to both sides and subtracting 3 from both sides.0+x=−x+x+3−3x=3
Check Solution: Check the solution.Substitute x back into the original function to verify that h(x) equals 0.h(x)=−x+3h(3)=−(3)+3h(3)=−3+3h(3)=0The solution x=3 makes h(x) equal to 0, so it is correct.
