Question3. (4.1) Consider the following relation. 2x2y=3xy+2x+h1+2x+2\begin{array}{l} -2 x-2 y= 3 x-y \\ +2 x+h 1 \\ +2 x+2 \end{array}
Answer: f(x)=\quad f(x)= \qquad 5x-5 x
Step 2. Evaluate the function found in the previous step at x=1x=1. 5(1)1y51y\begin{array}{l} -5(1)-1 y \\ -5-1 y \end{array}
Answer: f(1)=\quad f(1)= \qquad Step 3. Determine the implied domain of the function found in the first step. Express your answer in interval notation.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

What is this asking? We've got an equation, and we need to rewrite it so yy is a function of xx, then plug in x=1x = 1, and finally, figure out all the possible xx values that work for our function. Watch out! Don't forget to consider *all* possible xx values when finding the domain!

STEP 2

1. Rewrite as a function
2. Evaluate at *x* = 1
3. Find the domain

STEP 3

We want to get yy by itself on one side of the equation.
We start with 2x2y=3xy-2x - 2y = 3x - y.
Let's add 2x2x to both sides to move the 2x-2x from the left to the right: 2x2y+2x=3xy+2x-2x - 2y + 2x = 3x - y + 2x 2y=5xy-2y = 5x - yNow, let’s add yy to both sides to move the y-y from the right to the left: 2y+y=5xy+y-2y + y = 5x - y + y y=5x-y = 5x

STEP 4

Almost there!
We have y=5x-y = 5x.
To get yy by itself, we multiply both sides by 1-1: (1)(y)=(1)5x(-1) \cdot (-y) = (-1) \cdot 5x y=5xy = -5x

STEP 5

So, our function is f(x)=5xf(x) = -5x!

STEP 6

Now, we **plug in** x=1x = 1 into our function f(x)=5xf(x) = -5x: f(1)=51f(1) = -5 \cdot 1

STEP 7

f(1)=5f(1) = -5 So, f(1)f(1) is 5-5!

STEP 8

Our function is f(x)=5xf(x) = -5x.
Are there any xx values that would "break" this function?
Nope! We can multiply any real number by 5-5.

STEP 9

Since any real number works for xx, the domain is all real numbers, which we write in interval notation as (,)(-\infty, \infty).

STEP 10

f(x)=5xf(x) = -5x. f(1)=5f(1) = -5.
The domain of f(x)f(x) is (,)(-\infty, \infty).
