What is x if f ( x) = 23?

Step-by-step explanation:

X may be any real no.

f ( x) = 23

In the expression f(x)=23, x is not a variable. f(x) means “a function of x” or “f of x” and is in practice another way of substituting for the variable y, that is, we are saying:

y=23.

That means x is unspecified and could be anything. So on the xy plane, this is a straight horizontal line, 23 units above the x axis. That would be the best way to interpret this, although it is a little ambiguous.

Usually functions of x are expressed in terms of x, such as:

f(x) = x^2
