Answer 1

To find which input generates the largest output for the function \( f(x) = 3 - 2x \), we will evaluate the function for each input provided: 3, 0, 5, and 2.

1. Evaluate \( f(3) \):
\[
f(3) = 3 - 2(3) = 3 - 6 = -3
\]

2. Evaluate \( f(0) \):
\[
f(0) = 3 - 2(0) = 3 - 0 = 3
\]

3. Evaluate \( f(5) \):
\[
f(5) = 3 - 2(5) = 3 - 10 = -7
\]

4. Evaluate \( f(2) \):
\[
f(2) = 3 - 2(2) = 3 - 4 = -1
\]

Now let's summarize the outputs:
- \( f(3) = -3 \)
- \( f(0) = 3 \)
- \( f(5) = -7 \)
- \( f(2) = -1 \)

The largest output is \( f(0) = 3 \).

Thus, the input that generates the largest output is:

**f(0)**
