f(1)
f of 1

f(0)
f of 0

f(−2)

Answer 1

To evaluate the function \( f(x) = 4 - 5x \) using the given inputs, we will calculate the output for each input.

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

2. **For \( f(1) \)**:
\[
f(1) = 4 - 5(1) = 4 - 5 = -1
\]

3. **For \( f(0) \)**:
\[
f(0) = 4 - 5(0) = 4 - 0 = 4
\]

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

Now, let's summarize the outputs:

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

The largest output is from \( f(-2) \), which is **14**.

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