The function f(x)=2x+1 is defined over the interval [2, 5]. if the interval is divided into n equal parts, what is the value of the function at the right endpoint of the kth rectangle?

  D.  5 +6k/n

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of the interval is (5 -2) = 3. The width of one of n parts of it will be ...

  3/n

Then the difference between the left end point of the interval and the value of  x at the right end of the k-th rectangle will be ...

  k·(3/n) = 3k/n

So, the value of x at that point is that difference added to the interval's left end:

  2 + 3k/n

The value of the function for this value of x is ...

  f(2 +3k/n) = 2(2 +3k/n) +1 = (4 +6k/n) +1

  = 5 +6k/n

in mathematics, a function is a relationship between two variables such that the value of one of the variables, called the dependent variable, is determined by the value of the other variable, called the independent variable. there is a specific term we use to describe the set of independent variables of a function.
