I asked about the first part of this problem in https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=592408. I thought the best idea was to start another thread for the second part. Homework Statement Part a) Given f(x)=ax+b, and f(3)(x)=64x+21, find the values of the constants a and b. (note...

Given f(x)=ax+b, and f(3)(x)=64x+21, find the values of the constants a and b. (note: f(3)(x) means fff(x)) To me this seems like I have to use two equations to find the value of three variables, since when I have found a and b, I should be able to get the value of x. Even though it...
