f(x) = -6(1 -x)

Question

Given f(x) =-6(1 -x), what is the value of f(-8)?

x: -8
f(x):

Answer 1

To find the value of \( f(-8) \) using the function \( f(x) = -6(1 - x) \), we will substitute \( -8 \) for \( x \).

1. Substitute \( -8 \) into the function: \[ f(-8) = -6(1 - (-8)) \]

2. Simplify the expression inside the parentheses: \[ 1 - (-8) = 1 + 8 = 9 \]

3. Now, substitute \( 9 \) back into the function: \[ f(-8) = -6(9) \]

4. Finally, multiply: \[ f(-8) = -54 \]

Thus, the value of \( f(-8) \) is \(-54\).
