Linear function - iii

Algebra Level 2

The function f ( x ) = m x + c f(x) = mx +c satisfies the following f ( f ( f ( 0 ) ) ) = 28 f(f(f(0))) = 28 and f ( f ( f ( 1 ) ) ) = 36 f(f(f(1))) = 36 .

What is the value of f ( 1007 ) f(1007) ?


The answer is 2018.

m ( m ( c ) + c ) + c = 28 m(m(c)+c)+c = 28

m ( m ( m + c ) + c ) + c = 36 m(m(m+c)+c)+c = 36

So m 3 = 8 m^3=8 , m = 2 m = 2

2 ( 2 ( c ) + c ) + c = 7 c = 28 2(2(c)+c)+c = 7c = 28 , c = 4 c = 4

f ( 1007 ) = 2 ( 1007 ) + 4 = 2018 f(1007) = 2(1007)+4 = 2018
