Linear Functions 240B37
1. The problem involves evaluating or simplifying the given functions:
- $f(x) = 2x - 5$
- $5x - 2$
- $\frac{x + 5}{2}$
- $\frac{x - 5}{2}$
- $2x + 5$
2. Since no specific operation (like solving for $x$ or evaluating at a point) is requested, we can interpret "give me the answer" as simplifying or comparing these expressions.
3. Let's analyze each expression:
- $f(x) = 2x - 5$ is a linear function.
- $5x - 2$ is another linear function.
- $\frac{x + 5}{2}$ is a linear function rewritten as $0.5x + 2.5$.
- $\frac{x - 5}{2}$ is a linear function rewritten as $0.5x - 2.5$.
- $2x + 5$ is a linear function.
4. If the question is to find which expressions are equal or to simplify, none of these expressions are equal to each other for all $x$.
5. If you want to evaluate any of these functions at a specific $x$, please provide the value.
Final answer: The expressions are distinct linear functions and cannot be simplified further without additional context.
