Here, we need to find the input that will result in f(x) = -10
So, let's equate those two ~
[tex]\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: 2x = - 10[/tex]
[tex]\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: x = - 10 ÷2 [/tex]
[tex]\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: x = - 5[/tex]
So, the input as x = -5 to get the given results ~
Answer:
x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that:
[tex]f(x) = 2x[/tex], and that for a certain input value of [tex]x[/tex], [tex]f(x) = -10[/tex].
Since [tex]2x[/tex] and -10 are both equal to [tex]f(x)[/tex], we can say [tex]2x[/tex] and -10 are equal.
Therefore, we can equate the two expressions and solve the resulting equation for [tex]x[/tex]:
[tex]2x = -10[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\frac{2}{2}x = \frac{-10}{2}[/tex] [Dividing both sides of equation by 2]
⇒ [tex]x = \bf -5[/tex]
Therefore. when [tex]f(x) = -10[/tex], the input x was -5.
