Hi guys, I just stumble across an Add-Maths chapter 1 question, and I'm not sure what the question really mean.

Function f(x) = 12/hx+k

x =/= -k/h,
f(0)= -3,
f(7) = 4

Question b) find the value of x, when f(x)=x

That's the question I'm have problem with, aren't the image x supposed to be altered somehow compared to the object? x after the function is still x?

Thanks.

Sure.
That result slip is unimportant at all. No point, except if scholarship is in your mind.
There will be a gold-coloured PMR slip which will be issued middle next year.
That is the real deal.

You have to first define what is the constant h and k, probably your question a.
You have to understand the question.
You need to find a specific value of x that when you insert in the function results in that value as well.

Thanks! Will try to do it again.

edit: Do I have to try every number 1 by 1 for the answer? or is there any other way?

nah you don't. after equating x to the function, just manipulate the equation to get your values of x. Just to clarify, in this case:

12/(hx+k) = x
12 = x*(hx+k)
And then you do whatever's necessary to find x

Thanks!

If you're adding a question, best provide in another post.
Some don't go looking at previous post.
