let f(x)=-5x+6 find and simplify f(x+2)
f(x+2)=___
= 5(x+2)+6=5x+16
Bob, looks like you missed that silly little negative sign in front of the 5 too, just like I did when I answered this question the first time for Ernie, John, and now Charlie .
One would assume that he would check back to his previous post before posting the same question again and again.
Hey, it is a negative sign there after the equals.
To find and simplify the expression f(x+2), we need to substitute (x+2) into the function f(x) and simplify the result.
Given that f(x) = -5x + 6, we can substitute (x+2) into the function for x to obtain:
f(x+2) = -5(x+2) + 6
Now we need to simplify the expression by distributing the -5 across the terms within the parentheses:
f(x+2) = -5x - 10 + 6
Combining like terms, we get:
f(x+2) = -5x - 4
Therefore, the simplified expression for f(x+2) is -5x - 4.
