Answer:

Given f(x) = 5x, find each of the following:

f(3) = 15

f(-2) = -10

fo

f(-1) = -5

f(8) = 40

f(-4) = -16

Explanation:

When you have a value of x, it shows up inside the parenthesis.

For example: f(3) means x = 3.

Once you know what x is, you just have to plug in it's value into the original function.

So f(x) = 5x where f(3) means (5*3) or 15.
