Chapter 8.7, Problem 12E

To determine

To find:

The value of $g(x)$ , when $x=5$ .

Answer to Problem 12E

Thevalue of $g(x)$ , when $x=5$ would be $46$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Two functions: $f(x)=-3x+1$ and $g(x)=10x-4$

Calculation:

To find the value of $g(x)$ , when $x=5$ , we will substitute $x=5$ in function $g(x)$ as shown below:

  $\begin{array}{l}g(x)=10x-4\left(\text{Given function}\right)\\ g(5)=10(5)-4\left(\text{Substituting }x=5\right)\\ g(5)=50-4\\ g(5)=46\end{array}$

Therefore, thevalue of $g(x)$ , when $x=5$ would be $46$ .
