We have to find the output of a function, if the input is -7.
The input in this case is the value of x, which is the independent variable.
The output is the value of y, and we will calculate it as:

If the input is x=-7, the output will be y=-14.
3) We have another function, and the input is x=-7
We evaluate y as:

The output is y=1 for any input (also x=-7).
