Question
The linear function f is defined by f(x) = cx + d, where c & d are constants. If f (50) = 27,000 and f (100) = 38,000, what is the value of c?
The correct answer is: 220
Substituting the values of x = 50 & x = 100 in the given function, we will get 2 linear equations. Solving them simultaneously will give the value of c = ?
Step-by-step solution:-
f (x) = cx + d
i. For f (50) -
f (50) = c (50) + d
27,000 = 50c + d ________________. (From Given) _______________ (Equation i)
ii. For f (100)-
f (100) = c (100) + d
38,000 = 100c + d ___________________. (From Given) ________________(Equation ii)
Subtracting equation i from ii, we get-
Final Answer:-
∴ For the given linear function, the value of c = 220
