SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the function g(x) defined as g(x)=2f(x-1) using the provided points from the function Y=f(x). The points given are (-1,3), (0,2), (1,0), (2,1), and (3,5). The calculations for g(0), g(1), g(2), and g(3) are derived from these points, with g(0) calculated as 6, based on the value of f(-1). The participants confirm the calculations and express understanding of the process.

Y=f(x)
which passes through points:
(-1,3) and (0,2) and (1,0) and (2,1) and (3,5)
second function is defined: g(x)=2f(x-1)

Calculate g(0)
Calculate g(1)
Calculate g(2)
Calculate g(3)

Hello, and welcome to MHB! (Wave)

We are given:

$$g(x)=2f(x-1)$$

We are also given 5 points in the form:

$$(x,f(x))$$

And so:

$$g(0)=2f(0-1)=2f(-1)=2\cdot3=6$$

Does that make sense? Can you continue?

Just figured it out. Thank you Mark
