The problem states that $g$ is an affine function such that $g(0) = 3$ and $g(2) = 7$. We need to: (1) Determine the expression of $g(x)$. (2) Calculate $g(1)$ and $g(3)$. (3) Find the number $x$ for which $f(x) = 21$, noting that there seems to be a typo and this likely means $g(x) = 21$. (4) Draw the line representing the graph of the function $g$. We will not draw the line but we can indicate the equation and points needed to draw it.

1. Problem Description

The problem states that gg is an affine function such that g(0)=3g(0) = 3 and g(2)=7g(2) = 7. We need to:
(1) Determine the expression of g(x)g(x).
(2) Calculate g(1)g(1) and g(3)g(3).
(3) Find the number xx for which f(x)=21f(x) = 21, noting that there seems to be a typo and this likely means g(x)=21g(x) = 21.
(4) Draw the line representing the graph of the function gg. We will not draw the line but we can indicate the equation and points needed to draw it.

2. Solution Steps

(1) Determining the expression of g(x)g(x):
Since gg is an affine function, it has the form g(x)=ax+bg(x) = ax + b for some constants aa and bb.
We are given that g(0)=3g(0) = 3, so a(0)+b=3a(0) + b = 3, which implies b=3b = 3.
We are also given that g(2)=7g(2) = 7, so a(2)+b=7a(2) + b = 7. Since b=3b = 3, we have 2a+3=72a + 3 = 7.
Subtracting 3 from both sides, we get 2a=42a = 4. Dividing by 2, we find a=2a = 2.
Therefore, the expression for g(x)g(x) is g(x)=2x+3g(x) = 2x + 3.
(2) Calculating g(1)g(1) and g(3)g(3):
Using the expression g(x)=2x+3g(x) = 2x + 3, we can calculate:
g(1)=2(1)+3=2+3=5g(1) = 2(1) + 3 = 2 + 3 = 5.
g(3)=2(3)+3=6+3=9g(3) = 2(3) + 3 = 6 + 3 = 9.
(3) Finding the number xx such that g(x)=21g(x) = 21:
We are looking for xx such that g(x)=21g(x) = 21. Since g(x)=2x+3g(x) = 2x + 3, we have 2x+3=212x + 3 = 21.
Subtracting 3 from both sides, we get 2x=182x = 18. Dividing by 2, we find x=9x = 9.
(4) Tracing the line representing the graph of the function gg:
The equation of the line is y=g(x)=2x+3y = g(x) = 2x + 3. We already know two points on the line, (0,3)(0,3) and (2,7)(2,7). We calculated g(1)=5g(1)=5, so (1,5)(1,5) is another point. We also found that when g(x)=21g(x) = 21, x=9x=9, so (9,21)(9,21) is a point. The line passes through all of these points.

3. Final Answer

(1) The expression for g(x)g(x) is g(x)=2x+3g(x) = 2x + 3.
(2) g(1)=5g(1) = 5 and g(3)=9g(3) = 9.
(3) The number xx for which g(x)=21g(x) = 21 is x=9x = 9.
(4) The line representing the graph of gg is given by the equation y=2x+3y = 2x + 3, and passes through points such as (0,3)(0, 3), (1,5)(1, 5), (2,7)(2, 7) and (9,21)(9, 21).
