Math Problem Statement

Given f(x) = -x + 2, find f(4).

Solution

To solve for f(4)f(4) given the function f(x)=x+2f(x) = -x + 2, we simply substitute x=4x = 4 into the function:

f(4)=(4)+2f(4) = -(4) + 2

Calculating this:

f(4)=4+2=2f(4) = -4 + 2 = -2

So, the answer is: f(4)=2f(4) = -2

Would you like a further breakdown or explanation of this solution? Here are some related questions for further exploration:

  1. How would the solution change if the function was f(x)=2x+2f(x) = -2x + 2?
  2. What is f(x)f(x) if x=4x = -4?
  3. What is the inverse of the function f(x)=x+2f(x) = -x + 2?
  4. How would we find f(4)f(4) if f(x)=x2x+1f(x) = x^2 - x + 1?
  5. What would f(x)=x+2f(x) = -x + 2 look like if graphed on a coordinate plane?

Tip: When evaluating functions, substitute the input value carefully and follow the order of operations to avoid mistakes.
