You can put this solution on YOUR website!
if the equation if f(x) = 3x + 2, then f(5) would be equal to 3*5 + 2 = 17.
\n" ); document.write( "the coordinate point would be (5,17).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "when you say f(x) = 3x+2, x is the argument and f(x) is the result of applying the argument to the equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if you then say find f(5), you are replacing the argument of x with the argument of 5 and applying that to the equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "f(x) = 3x + 2
\n" ); document.write( "your coordinate point is (x, f(x)).
\n" ); document.write( "f(5) = 3*5 + 2
\n" ); document.write( "your coordinate point is (5,17).\r
