Question

What is f(-4) for the function f? f(x) = 2x + 3

Answer 1

Answer: f(-4) = -5

Step-by-step explanation: Here we're given the function

f(x) = 2x + 3 and we're asked to find f(-4).

In other words, if we put a x into our function, we get a 2x + 3 out.

So what happens when we put a -4 into the function?

Well if we put a -4 into the function, that's f(-4), we get a 2(-4) + 3 out.

Now all we have to do is simplify on the right side.

2(-4) is -8 so we have -8 + 3 which is -5.

So f(-4) is -5.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\Huge \boxed{{f(-4)=-5}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The function f(x) is given.

f(x) = 2x + 3

f(-4)

The input for the function f(x) is -4.

x is the input value.

x = -4

Replace x with -4.

f(-4) = 2(-4) + 3

Solve for the brackets.

f(-4) = -8 + 3

Evaluate.

f(-4) = -5
