Question 88531: D�j� vu strikes again! Problem 36 follows the trend with the equation:
f(x) = 5x � 1
but complicates it by giving you the following instead of a real number (good thing Part (b) of Example 6 on p 657 does something very similar):

Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
f(x) = 5x � 1
but complicates it by giving you the following instead of a real number (good thing Part (b) of Example 6 on p 657 does something very similar):
36) f(a � 2)
-------------------
f(a-2) = 5(a-2)-1
=5a-11
