Question

Which function defines sequence evaluates the function where f(6) = -26?

(1)f(x) = -4r - 2
(3)/(x) = -x +32
(2) f(x) = 4r-2
(4)/(x) = x - 26

Answer 1

To find which function results in f(6) = -26, substitute 6 for x in each function. The correct function is f(x) = -4x - 2, as it produces the required value when evaluated.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of the question revolves around determining which function describes a sequence where the function value at f(6) = -26. This requires substituting x with 6 in each given function and checking which one results in the value of -26.

We are given four functions to evaluate:

1. f(x) = -4x - 2
2. f(x) = 4x - 2
3. f(x) = -x + 32
4. f(x) = x - 26

To find the correct function, we will substitute x with 6:

• f(6) = -4(6) - 2 = -24 - 2 = -26, therefore the first function produces the correct value.

So the correct answer is the first function: f(x) = -4x - 2.
