If f(x) = −4x − 1, find f(−2). −9 −7 −10 7

hero (hero):

f(x) = -4x - 1 f(-2) = -4(-2) - 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plug in the -2 instead of X.

Parth (parthkohli):

\[f(\color{#C00}{x}) = -4(\color{#C00}{x}) - 1 \\ f(\color{#C00}{-1}) = -4(\color{#C00}{-1}) - 1 \\ \vdots\]

Im confused :S

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need to plug in -2 instead of X. \[-4X -1\] So with -2 it will be: \[-4(-2) - 1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the answer is 7.
