Answer

(a) $f(9)=29$ (b) $x=\frac{5}{4}$ or $f(\frac{5}{4})=-2$ (c) Domain of $f(x)$: $(-\infty,\infty)$ Range: $(-\infty,\infty)$

Work Step by Step

$f(x)=4x-7$ (a) Put $x=9$ in the equation: $f(9)=4\times9-7=29$ (b) Putting $f(x)=-2$ $4x-7=-2$ $4x=5$ $x=\frac{5}{4}$ $f\left(\frac{5}{4}\right)=-2$ (c) Since $f(x)$ is a linear function, therefore defined for all real numbers, Domain of $f(x)$: $(-\infty,\infty)$ Similarly the range will be $(-\infty,\infty)$
