f(4)
f of 4

f(−2)
f of negative 2

f(1)
f of 1

f(0)

Answer 1

To evaluate the function \( f(x) = 4 - 5x \) for each input:

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

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

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

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

Now, we can compare the outputs:

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

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

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