We get the value of f(-1) as - 5.
We are given a function:
f (x) = x + 4 x³
A function from a set X to a set Y assigns to each element of X exactly one element of Y.
We need to find the value of f ( - 1 )
We will do this by substituting the value of x as - 1
Put x = -1, we get that:
f ( x = -1 ) = ( - 1 ) + 4 ( - 1 )³
f ( - 1 ) = - 1 + 4 ( - 1 )
f ( - 1 ) = - 1 - 4
Simplifying the function:
f ( - 1 ) = - 5
Therefore, we get the value of f(-1) as - 5.
