Part a.
In order to find f(4) we need to substitute the value x=4 into the given function, that is,
which gives
Then, the ordered pair (4,11) is included in the function f(x).
Part b.
Similarly to the previous case, we need to substitute x=-1 into the function, that is,
which gives
So the ordered pair (-1,1) is included in the function f(x).
