Exercise 4 Page 7

Practice makes perfect
a

We want to find the function value f(4) using the given function.

f(x)=1/x-2 That means substituting x with 4 and then simplifying the expression.

f(x)=1/x-2
f( 4)=1/4-2
f(4)=1/2

b

We should find an input for the function f that makes the function value equal to 1.

1/x-2=1 Then, by solving the equation for x, that input is found.

1/x-2=1
1=1(x-2)
1=x-2
3=x
x=3
