Question

Use the following function rule to find f(3). f(x) = 4x + 12 f(3) = ?

Answer 1

24 because you plug in the 3 with the x so 4 times 3 which is 12 plus another 12 equals 24

Answer 2

We can find f(3) by replacing the input value x with 3:

`\begin{gathered} f(x)=4x+12 \\ f(3)=4\cdot3+12=12+12=24 \end{gathered}`

The value of f(3) is 24.
