This problem is quite simple, I'll try to help you understand why it is~

f(x) is NOT f times x, but it is f, the function of x.

This means that the value of f depends on the value of x. f(1) means the value of the function, f, when x = 1.

Thus, f(3) is the value of the function, f(x), when x = 3. According to the table, f(x) is 1 when x is 3. That should be your answer.

Please do let me know if you still do not understand.

Happy Studying~

Which statement best reflects the solution(s) of the equation?

Inessa [10]

x=2 is only solution while x=1 is extraneous solution

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the equation $\frac{1}{x-1}+\frac{2}{x}=\frac{x}{x-1}$ and find values of x.

Solving:

Find the LCM of denominators x-1,x and x-1. The LCM is x(x-1)

Multiply the entire equation with x(x-1)

$\frac{1}{x-1}+\frac{2}{x}=\frac{x}{x-1}\\\frac{1}{x-1}*x(x-1)+\frac{2}{x}*x(x-1)=\frac{x}{x-1}*x(x-1)\\Cancelling\,\,out\,\,the\,\,same\,\,terms:\\x+2(x-1)=x^2\\x+2x-2=x^2\\3x-2=x^2\\x^2-3x+2=0$

Now, factoring the term:

$x^2-2x-x+2=0\\x(x-2)-1(x-2)=0\\(x-1)(x-2)=0\\x-1=0\,\,and\,\, x-2=0\\x=1\,\,and\,\, x=2$

The values of x are x=1 and x=2

Checking for extraneous roots:

Extraneous roots: The root that is the solution of the equation but when we put it in the equation the answer turns out not to be right.

If we put x=1 in the equation, $\frac{1}{x-1}+\frac{2}{x}=\frac{x}{x-1}$ the denominator becomes zero i.e

$\frac{1}{1-1}+\frac{2}{1}=\frac{1}{1-1}\\\frac{1}{0}+2=\frac{1}{0}$

which is not correct as in fraction anything divided by zero is undefined. So, x=1 is an extraneous solution.

If we put x=2 in the equation,

$\frac{1}{x-1}+\frac{2}{x}=\frac{x}{x-1}$

$\frac{1}{2-1}+\frac{2}{2}=\frac{2}{2-1}\\\frac{1}{1}+1=\frac{2}{1}\\1+1=2\\2=2$

So, x=2 is only solution while x=1 is extraneous solution

Option C is correct.

Find the monthly interest payment in the situation described below. Assume that the monthly interest rate is 1 divided by 12 of

asambeis [7]

The monthly interest payment is 162

<h3>What is Interest?</h3>

Interest, in its most simple form, is calculated as a percent of the principal.

First,

monthly interest rate,

= 0.24/12

= 0.02.

Now,

Average monthly interest,

=0.02×$675

= $13.50.

Thus, the annual interest payments,

= 12×$13.50

= $162
