Function Notation: If f(x) = 2x+1, g(x) = 3-x, find f(a),

[Martingale]

Does this make more sense:
2f(x)=2(2x+1)=4x+2

this is correct

If ƒ(x) = 2x + 1, Find 2ƒ(x)
I originally worked it out like this:
ƒ(2(x))= 2(2(x)+ 1)

But 2 * f(x) is not at all the same thing as f(2*x). This is, in part, a result of the fact that the parentheses, in function notation, have nothing to do with multiplication.

Does this make more sense:
2f(x)=2(2x+1)=4x+2

Yes; two times f(x) means 2(f(x)) = 2(the formula for f) = 2(2x + 1).

Good job!
