The function f(x) is a piecewise function, which means that it is comprised of separate functions that change depending on the value of x. According to the problem, whenever x is less than 1, f(x) is defined by 2_x_ - 3. Whenever x is greater than or equal to one and less than 3, f(x) is defined as
. And whenever x is greater than or equal to 3, f(x) is equal to |4_x_ – 9|.
The question asks us to find f(1) + f(3) + f(5). We need to calculate the values of f(1), f(3), and f(5) individually and then find their sum.
To find f(1), we must first decide which of the three possible functions for f(x) to use. Since f(1) means we are finding the value of f(x) when x = 1, we will have to use the second piece, which says that f(x) =
. We can't use the function 2_x_ - 3, because this is only valid when x < 1, not when x = 1.

Next, we will find f(3). We need to use the third piece of the function which states that f(x) = |4_x_ – 9|. Since f(3) means we are finding f(x) when x = 3, we can only use the third piece. The second piece,
, is only defined if x is less than 3 and greater than or equal to 1.

Lastly, we must find f(5). Again, we will use the function f(x) = |4_x_ – 9|, because when x = 5, x must be greater than 3.

We can now add up f(1), f(3), and f(5), which would give us 3 + 3 + 11 = 17.
The answer is 17.

The first step is to find what f(10) equals, so f(10)=5(10) – 10 = 40. Then substitute 40 into the second equation: 5(40) – 10 = 200 – 10 = 190.
190 is the correct answer

f(x) = 0.1x + 7
g(x) = 1000x + 4
What is g(f(100))?
f(x) = 0.1x + 7
g(x) = 1000x + 4
What is g(f(100))?
Tap to reveal answer
First find the value of f(100) = 0.1(100) + 7 = 10 + 7 = 17
Then find g(17) = 1000(17) + 4 = 17000 + 4 = 17004.
First find the value of f(100) = 0.1(100) + 7 = 10 + 7 = 17
Then find g(17) = 1000(17) + 4 = 17000 + 4 = 17004.

The rate of a gym membership costs p dollars the first month and m dollars per month every month thereafter. Which of the following represents the total cost of the gym membership for n months, if n is a positive integer?

The one-time first-month cost is p, and the monthly cost is m, which gets multipled by every month but the first (of which there are n -1). The total cost is the first-month cost of p, plus the monthly cost for (i.e. times) n -1 months, which makes the total cost equal to p + m (n -1).

If n and p are positive and 100_n_3_p_-1 = 25_n_, what is n-2 in terms of p ?
If n and p are positive and 100_n_3_p_-1 = 25_n_, what is n-2 in terms of p ?

To solve this problem, we look for an operation to perform on both sides that will leave n-2 by itself on one side. Dividing both sides by 25_n_-3 would leave n-2 by itself on the right side of the equqation, as shown below:
100n3p–1/25n–3 = 25n/25n–3
Remember that when dividing terms with the same base, we subtract the exponents, so the equation can be written as 100n0p–1/25 = n–2
Finally, we simplify to find 4_p–_1 = _n–_2.

If 7y = 4x - 12, then x =
If 7y = 4x - 12, then x =

Adding 12 to both sides and dividing by 4 yields (7y+12)/4.
Adding 12 to both sides and dividing by 4 yields (7y+12)/4.
