Math Problem Statement
Evaluate the function f
at the indicated values. f(x)=4|3x−1| f(-3),f(2),f(-a),-f(a),f(a+h)
Solution
We are given the function:
Now, let's evaluate the function at the given values.

f(x) = 4|3x - 1|
f(-a) = 4|-(3a + 1)| = 4(3a + 1)
-f(a) = -4|3a - 1|
f(a + h) = 4|3a + 3h - 1|
Theorems
