How do you find f(4) if f(x) = 4x + 5?

Back

Substitute 4 into the function: f(4) = 4(4) + 5 = 21.

What is the process to solve for x in f(x) = -4x - 10 and f(x) = 10?

Back

Set -4x - 10 equal to 10 and solve for x: -4x - 10 = 10 leads to x = -5.

What is the domain of a function?

Back

The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (x-values) for which the function is defined.

Front

What is the range of a function?

Back

The range of a function is the set of all possible output values (y-values) that the function can produce.
