f(1)
f of 1

f(4)

Answer 1

To evaluate the function \( f(x) = 4 - 5x \) for each provided input, let's calculate the output for each one.

1. \( f(0) \): \[ f(0) = 4 - 5(0) = 4 - 0 = 4 \]

2. \( f(-2) \): \[ f(-2) = 4 - 5(-2) = 4 + 10 = 14 \]

3. \( f(1) \): \[ f(1) = 4 - 5(1) = 4 - 5 = -1 \]

4. \( f(4) \): \[ f(4) = 4 - 5(4) = 4 - 20 = -16 \]

Now, let's summarize the outputs:

• \( f(0) = 4 \)
• \( f(-2) = 14 \)
• \( f(1) = -1 \)
• \( f(4) = -16 \)

The largest output is from \( f(-2) = 14 \).

Thus, the input that generates the largest output is \( f(-2) \).
