Plot the graphs of the following functions.
f(x) = 5x
f(x) = 4x+2
f(x) = (1/3)x
f(x) = log5x
How do I get the solutions for each of these functions?
------------------------
There are no solutions. Each of these functions will be a line of infinite length and all points on the line belong to the function.
Go to http://www.padowan.dk.com/graph/ and DL the software to do these graphs.

You are using the word solution incorrectly. Each of the equations
has 2 variables, f%28x%29 and x. There is no way to "solve"
1 equation with 2 variables. For a solution to be possible, the
number of variables has to equal the number of equations.
You can, however, plot all of these equations. A plot doesn't
give you a solution, unless you're looking for a special point,
like a root, or an intercept.
f%28x%29+=+5x
f%28x%29+=+4x%2B2
f%28x%29+=+%281%2F3%29x
f%28x%29+=+log%285x%29
