For this case we have a function of the form:


y = f (x), where:


f (x) = - 8-5x

We want to know the value of the function when
x = -4, that is,
f (-4).

Substituting we have:


f (-4) = - 8-5 (-4)

We have by law of multilplication of signs that:


- * - = +\\f (-4) = - 8 + 20

Different signs are subtracted and the sign of the major is placed.


f (-4) = 12

Option A

Answer:

f (-4) = 12.

Explanation:

If f(x) = –8 – 5x, what is f(–4)?

substitute -4 to ur value of x

that is f(-4)= -8 -5(-4)

f(-4) = -8+20

f(-4) =12.
