Answer:

The answer in each numeral is:

  1. f(4) = 28
  2. f(10) = -19
  3. f(-5) = -33
  4. f(9) = -9

Explanation:

To obtain the result in each case, you must replace the variable (n) by the value that appears in the second case, I'll explain it with the first exercise:

  • 1. f(n) = 5n + 8
  • f(4) = ?

As you can see, in the second doesn't appear f(n), but f(4), that means you must replace the "n" in the equation by 4, if we do this, we obtain:

  • 1. f(4) = 5*(4) + 8
  • f(4) = 20 + 8
  • f(4) = 28

The first answer is 28, now we'll continue with the next exercises:

  • 2. f(n) = -2n + 1
  • f(10) = -2*(10) + 1
  • f(10) = -20 + 1
  • f(10) = -19

  • 3. f(n) = 6n - 3
  • f(-5) = 6*(-5) - 3
  • f(-5) = -30 - 3
  • f(-5) = -33

  • 4. f(n) = -n
  • f(9) = -9

In this form, you can prove the answers are: 28, -19, -33, and -9 respectively.
