To find f(3), plug 3 into the function f(x):
f(3) = 2 * 3 - 3 = 6 - 3 = 3
Therefore, f(3) = 3.
To determine which function has a steeper slope, compare the coefficients of x in each function.
For f(x), the coefficient of x is 2.
For g(x), the coefficient of x is -4.
Since 2 is greater than -4, function f(x) has a steeper slope.
Use the following functions to solve each:
f(x)= 2x - 3 g(x)= -4x -1
What is f(3)?
Which function has a steeper slope?
