Chapter 8.1, Problem 1QR

To determine

To find: The value of the function for the indicated value $f\left(5\right)$ .

Answer to Problem 1QR

The value of the function for the indicated value $f\left(5\right)=\frac{5}{8}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The function is $f\left(x\right)=\frac{x}{x+3}$ .

Calculation:

Substitute $x=5$ in $f\left(x\right)=\frac{x}{x+3}$ to find the value of $f\left(5\right)$ .

  $\begin{array}{c}f\left(5\right)=\frac{5}{5+3}\\ =\frac{5}{8}\end{array}$

Therefore, the value of the function for the indicated value $f\left(5\right)=\frac{5}{8}$ .
