Math Problem Statement

Let f(x) = -4x + 6. Find f(1/2).

Solution

The problem provided in the image is:

Given the function f(x)=4x+6f(x) = -4x + 6, find f(12)f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right).

Steps to solve:

  1. Substitute x=12x = \frac{1}{2} into the function: f(12)=4(12)+6f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = -4\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) + 6

  2. Simplify the expression: f(12)=2+6f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = -2 + 6

  3. Calculate the result: f(12)=4f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = 4

Thus, f(12)=4f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = 4.
