Evaluate the function for the following input: f(x) = 3 - 2x. Which input generates

Question

the largest output when evaluating the function? (1 point)
• f(0)
• f(2)
• f(3)
f(5)

Answer 1

To evaluate the function \( f(x) = 3 - 2x \) for the given inputs, we will calculate \( f(0) \), \( f(2) \), \( f(3) \), and \( f(5) \).

1. \( f(0) = 3 - 2(0) = 3 - 0 = 3 \)
2. \( f(2) = 3 - 2(2) = 3 - 4 = -1 \)
3. \( f(3) = 3 - 2(3) = 3 - 6 = -3 \)
4. \( f(5) = 3 - 2(5) = 3 - 10 = -7 \)

Now we have the outputs for each input:

• \( f(0) = 3 \)
• \( f(2) = -1 \)
• \( f(3) = -3 \)
• \( f(5) = -7 \)

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

Thus, the input that generates the largest output is \( f(0) \).
