Question

Given f(x) = 17(3 + x), what is the value of f(-2)?
a. -53/17
b. -17
c. 85
d. 17

Answer 1

To calculate f(-2) for the function f(x) = 17(3 + x), we substitute -2 into the function and simplify to get the result, which is 17. The correct answer is option d.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of f(-2) when f(x) = 17(3 + x), we simply substitute -2 for x in the function:

f(-2) = 17(3 + (-2))

f(-2) = 17(3 - 2)

f(-2) = 17(1)

f(-2) = 17

Therefore, the value of f(-2) is 17, which corresponds to option d.
