To find \( f(-3) \) for the function \( f(x) = 4(2^x) \), we substitute \(-3\) into the function.
\[ f(-3) = 4(2^{-3}) \]
Now, we need to calculate \( 2^{-3} \):
\[ 2^{-3} = \frac{1}{2^3} = \frac{1}{8} \]
Now we substitute this value back into the function:
\[ f(-3) = 4 \left(\frac{1}{8}\right) = \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2} \]
Thus, the value of \( f(-3) \) is
\[ \boxed{\frac{1}{2}} \]
