Final answer:
To determine the output value of f(9), substitute 9 into the function f(x) = 4x + 2, which gives f(9) = 38. This is Option 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the output value of f(9) for the function f(x) = 4x + 2, we simply substitute 9 for x in the function and solve:
f(9) = 4(9) + 2
f(9) = 36 + 2
f(9) = 38
Therefore, the output value of f(9) is 38, which corresponds to Option 1.
