ANSWER
The value of this function at x=-1 is 1
EXPLANATION
The given function is
[tex]f(x) = 3x + 4[/tex]
We want to find the value of this function at x=-1.
We substitute x=-1 into the function to obtain:
[tex]f( - 1) = 3( - 1)+ 4[/tex]
We multiply out to obtain:
[tex]f( - 1) = - 3+ 4[/tex]
[tex]f( - 1) = 1[/tex]
Therefore the value of this function at x=-1 is 1.
Answer: [tex]f(-1)=1[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the linear function f(x):
[tex]f(x)=3x+4[/tex]
By definition. a relation is a function if each input value has only one output value. In this case you need to find the output value for the input value [tex]x=-1[/tex]. In order to do this, you need to substitute this value of the variable "x" into the linear function given.
Then:
When [tex]x=-1[/tex]:
[tex]f(-1)=3(-1)+4[/tex]
Remember the multiplication of signs:
[tex](+)(-)=-\\(+)(+)=+\\(-)(-)=+[/tex]
Then, the value of f(x) when [tex]x=-1[/tex] is:
[tex]f(-1)=-3+4[/tex]
[tex]f(-1)=1[/tex]
