Q. Given the function f(x)=15x+65 f(x)=\frac{1}{5} x+\frac{6}{5} , then what is f(x3) f(x-3) as a simplified polynomial?\newlineAnswer:
  1. Substitute x3x-3 into function: Substitute (x3)(x-3) into the function f(x)f(x). We have the function f(x)=15x+65f(x) = \frac{1}{5}x + \frac{6}{5}. To find f(x3)f(x-3), we replace every instance of xx in the function with (x3)(x-3). f(x3)=15(x3)+65f(x-3) = \frac{1}{5}(x-3) + \frac{6}{5}
  2. Distribute (1/5)(1/5) across terms: Distribute the (1/5)(1/5) across the terms inside the parentheses.\newlineWe need to multiply (1/5)(1/5) by both xx and 3-3.\newlinef(x3)=(1/5)x(1/5)×3+(6/5)f(x-3) = (1/5)x - (1/5)\times 3 + (6/5)
  3. Simplify the expression: Simplify the expression.\newlineNow we simplify the multiplication and combine any like terms if possible.\newlinef(x3)=15x35+65f(x-3) = \frac{1}{5}x - \frac{3}{5} + \frac{6}{5}
  4. Combine constant terms: Combine the constant terms.\newlineWe have two constant terms, 35-\frac{3}{5} and 65\frac{6}{5}, which we can add together.\newlinef(x3)=15x+6535f(x-3) = \frac{1}{5}x + \frac{6}{5} - \frac{3}{5}\newlinef(x3)=15x+35f(x-3) = \frac{1}{5}x + \frac{3}{5}
