The problem consists of two exercises. Exercise 2 deals with a linear function $f$ such that $f(7) = 14$. We need to find the expression of $f(x)$, find the number $a$ such that $f(a) = 21$, and draw the graph of $f$. Exercise 3 deals with an affine function $g$ such that $g(0) = 3$ and $g(2) = 7$. We need to find the expression of $g(x)$, calculate $g(1)$ and $g(3)$, find the number $a$ such that $g(a) = 21$, and draw the graph of $g$. Note that the image asks for the number $a$ such that $g(a) = 21$ by the function $f$ - but the problem is likely asking for the value by the function $g$.

1. Problem Description

The problem consists of two exercises. Exercise 2 deals with a linear function ff such that f(7)=14f(7) = 14. We need to find the expression of f(x)f(x), find the number aa such that f(a)=21f(a) = 21, and draw the graph of ff. Exercise 3 deals with an affine function gg such that g(0)=3g(0) = 3 and g(2)=7g(2) = 7. We need to find the expression of g(x)g(x), calculate g(1)g(1) and g(3)g(3), find the number aa such that g(a)=21g(a) = 21, and draw the graph of gg. Note that the image asks for the number aa such that g(a)=21g(a) = 21 by the function ff - but the problem is likely asking for the value by the function gg.

2. Solution Steps

Exercise 2:
(1) Since ff is a linear function, it has the form f(x)=kxf(x) = kx for some constant kk. We are given that f(7)=14f(7) = 14, so 7k=147k = 14.
k=147=2k = \frac{14}{7} = 2
Therefore, f(x)=2xf(x) = 2x.
(2) We want to find aa such that f(a)=21f(a) = 21. This means 2a=212a = 21.
a=212=10.5a = \frac{21}{2} = 10.5
(3) To draw the line f(x)=2xf(x) = 2x, we need two points. We know that f(0)=0f(0) = 0 and f(7)=14f(7) = 14. So the line passes through (0,0)(0, 0) and (7,14)(7, 14).
Exercise 3:
(1) 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 and g(2)=7g(2) = 7.
g(0)=a(0)+b=3g(0) = a(0) + b = 3, so b=3b = 3.
g(2)=a(2)+b=7g(2) = a(2) + b = 7, so 2a+3=72a + 3 = 7. Therefore, 2a=42a = 4 and a=2a = 2.
Thus, g(x)=2x+3g(x) = 2x + 3.
(2) 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) We want to find aa such that g(a)=21g(a) = 21. This means 2a+3=212a + 3 = 21.
2a=213=182a = 21 - 3 = 18
a=182=9a = \frac{18}{2} = 9
(4) To draw the line g(x)=2x+3g(x) = 2x + 3, we need two points. We know that g(0)=3g(0) = 3 and g(2)=7g(2) = 7. So the line passes through (0,3)(0, 3) and (2,7)(2, 7).

3. Final Answer

Exercise 2:
(1) f(x)=2xf(x) = 2x
(2) a=10.5a = 10.5
(3) The graph of ff passes through (0,0)(0, 0) and (7,14)(7, 14).
Exercise 3:
(1) g(x)=2x+3g(x) = 2x + 3
(2) g(1)=5g(1) = 5 and g(3)=9g(3) = 9
(3) a=9a = 9
(4) The graph of gg passes through (0,3)(0, 3) and (2,7)(2, 7).
