Answer

a. $h(35)=26$ b. $x=-\frac{7}{2}$ d. Domain:- $(-\infty,\infty)$. Range:- $(-\infty,\infty)$.

Work Step by Step

The given function is $h(x)=\frac{4}{7}x+6$ a. Substitute $x=35$ into the function. $\Rightarrow h(35)=\frac{4}{7}(35)+6$ Clear the parentheses. $\Rightarrow h(35)=20+6$ Subtract. $\Rightarrow h(35)=26$. b. Substitute $h(x)=4$ into the function. $\Rightarrow 4=\frac{4}{7}x+6$ Multiply both sides by $7$. $\Rightarrow 7(4)=7\left (\frac{4}{7}x+6\right )$ Use distributive property. $\Rightarrow 7(4)=7\left (\frac{4}{7}x\right )+7\left (6\right )$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 28=4x+42$ Subtract $42$ from both sides. $\Rightarrow 28-42=4x+42-42$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow -14=4x$ Divide both sides by $4$. $\Rightarrow \frac{-14}{4}=\frac{4x}{4}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow -\frac{7}{2}=x$. c. This is a linear function. Hence, all real number inputs will result in real number outputs. The domain is $(-\infty,\infty)$. and the range is $(-\infty,\infty)$.
