Q. Let f(x)=4x−15. Find each of the following:f(a)=2f(a)=f(2a)=f(a+2)=f(a)+f(2)=
Substitute a for f(a): To find f(a), substitute a for x in the function f(x)=4x−15. f(a)=4a−15
Multiply by 2: To find 2f(a), multiply the result of f(a) by 2.2f(a)=2(4a−15)=8a−30
Substitute 2a: To find f(2a), substitute 2a for x in the function f(x)=4x−15.f(2a)=4(2a)−15=8a−15
Substitute a+2: To find f(a+2), substitute (a+2) for x in the function f(x)=4x−15.f(a+2)=4(a+2)−15=4a+8−15=4a−7
Find f(a)+f(2): To find f(a)+f(2), first find f(2) by substituting 2 for x in the function f(x)=4x−15.f(2)=4(2)−15=8−15=−7Now, add f(a) to f(2).f(a)+f(2)=(4a−15)+(−7)=4a−15−7=4a−22
