Question

Compute the exact value of the function for the given x-value without using a calculator. (2 points) f(x) = 5x for x = -1

Answer 1

The exact value of the function for the given x-value is of -5.

Explanation:

In this question, we compute the numeric value of the function f(x) for x = -1, that is, we replace every instance of x in the function by -1.

f(x) = 5x for x = -1

`f(-1) = 5(-1) = -5`

The exact value of the function for the given x-value is of -5.
