Solution

To solve the problem shown in the image:

We are given the function:

f(x)=33xf(x) = 3 - 3x

Task:

Find the indicated values:

  1. f(4)f(-4)
  2. f(0)f(0)
  3. f(6)f(6)

Step-by-Step Solution:

(a) f(4)f(-4):

Substitute x=4x = -4 into f(x)=33xf(x) = 3 - 3x: f(4)=33(4)f(-4) = 3 - 3(-4) f(4)=3+12=15f(-4) = 3 + 12 = 15 f(4)=15\therefore f(-4) = 15.


(b) f(0)f(0):

Substitute x=0x = 0 into f(x)=33xf(x) = 3 - 3x: f(0)=33(0)f(0) = 3 - 3(0) f(0)=3f(0) = 3 f(0)=3\therefore f(0) = 3.


(c) f(6)f(6):

Substitute x=6x = 6 into f(x)=33xf(x) = 3 - 3x: f(6)=33(6)f(6) = 3 - 3(6) f(6)=318=15f(6) = 3 - 18 = -15 f(6)=15\therefore f(6) = -15.


Final Answers:

  1. f(4)=15f(-4) = 15
  2. f(0)=3f(0) = 3
  3. f(6)=15f(6) = -15
