1. Problem Description
The image contains two exercises.
Exercise 2 involves a linear function such that . We need to:
1. Determine the expression for $f(x)$.
2. Find the number $a$ such that $f(a) = 21$.
3. Sketch the graph of the function $f$.
Exercise 3 involves an affine function such that and . We need to:
1. Determine the expression for $g(x)$.
2. Calculate $g(1)$ and $g(3)$.
3. Find the number $a$ such that $f(a) = 21$, where $f$ is the function from Exercise
2.
4. Sketch the graph of the function $g$.
2. Solution Steps
Exercise 2:
1. Since $f$ is a linear function, it can be written in the form $f(x) = kx$, where $k$ is a constant. We are given that $f(7) = 14$, so $7k = 14$. Dividing both sides by 7, we get $k = 2$. Therefore, $f(x) = 2x$.
2. We want to find $a$ such that $f(a) = 21$. Since $f(x) = 2x$, we have $2a = 21$. Dividing both sides by 2, we get $a = \frac{21}{2} = 10.5$.
3. The graph of $f(x) = 2x$ is a straight line passing through the origin $(0, 0)$ and the point $(1, 2)$.
Exercise 3:
1. Since $g$ is an affine function, it can be written in the form $g(x) = mx + b$, where $m$ and $b$ are constants. We are given that $g(0) = 3$, so $m(0) + b = 3$, which means $b = 3$. We are also given that $g(2) = 7$, so $2m + b = 7$. Since $b = 3$, we have $2m + 3 = 7$. Subtracting 3 from both sides, we get $2m = 4$. Dividing both sides by 2, we get $m = 2$. Therefore, $g(x) = 2x + 3$.
2. To calculate $g(1)$, we substitute $x = 1$ into $g(x) = 2x + 3$, so $g(1) = 2(1) + 3 = 2 + 3 = 5$.
To calculate , we substitute into , so .
3. We want to find $a$ such that $f(a) = 21$. From Exercise 2, $f(x) = 2x$, so we have $2a = 21$, which gives $a = \frac{21}{2} = 10.5$.
4. The graph of $g(x) = 2x + 3$ is a straight line. We can find two points on the line. We know that $g(0) = 3$, so the point $(0, 3)$ is on the line. We also know that $g(2) = 7$, so the point $(2, 7)$ is on the line.
3. Final Answer
Exercise 2:
1. $f(x) = 2x$
2. $a = 10.5$
3. The graph is a line through $(0, 0)$ and $(1, 2)$.
