What is the value of the dependent variable if the value of the independent variable is –2b?. . f(x) = 3x – 5. A.. . –b. B.. . –11b. C.. . –6b – 5. D.. . 6b – 5
the function is
f(x) = 3x – 5
and you are asked for when x=-2b
therefore
f(-2b)=3(-2b)-5which gives -6b-5its all about substitution
-6b-5, you have to substitute the independent variable for x in the function and then solve for f(x) which is the dependent varaible
f(x) = 3x - 5
x = -2b
substitute the value of x to the equation.
f(x) = 3(-2b) -5
f(x) = -6b - 5
