1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to evaluate three functions at x=2x=2:
a. f(x)=3x7f(x) = \sqrt{3x-7}
b. f(x)=x+12x4f(x) = \frac{x+1}{2x-4}
c. f(x)=2x+3f(x) = |2x+3|

2. Solution Steps

a. f(x)=3x7f(x) = \sqrt{3x-7}
Substitute x=2x=2 into the function:
f(2)=3(2)7=67=1f(2) = \sqrt{3(2)-7} = \sqrt{6-7} = \sqrt{-1}
Since the square root of a negative number is not a real number, the function is undefined at x=2x=2.
b. f(x)=x+12x4f(x) = \frac{x+1}{2x-4}
Substitute x=2x=2 into the function:
f(2)=2+12(2)4=344=30f(2) = \frac{2+1}{2(2)-4} = \frac{3}{4-4} = \frac{3}{0}
Since division by zero is undefined, the function is undefined at x=2x=2.
c. f(x)=2x+3f(x) = |2x+3|
Substitute x=2x=2 into the function:
f(2)=2(2)+3=4+3=7=7f(2) = |2(2)+3| = |4+3| = |7| = 7

3. Final Answer

a. f(2)=1f(2) = \sqrt{-1} (Undefined or not a real number)
b. f(2)=30f(2) = \frac{3}{0} (Undefined)
c. f(2)=7f(2) = 7
