Question

Evaluate f(-4) for the function f(x) = 5x + 2



22

-22

-18

18

Answer 1

To evaluate \( f(-4) \) for the function \( f(x) = 5x + 2 \), we substitute \(-4\) for \(x\):

\[
f(-4) = 5(-4) + 2
\]

Calculating this step-by-step:

1. Multiply \(5\) by \(-4\):

\[
5 \times -4 = -20
\]

2. Now add \(2\):

\[
-20 + 2 = -18
\]

Thus,

\[
f(-4) = -18
\]

The correct answer is \(-18\).
