Find the value of f(4) for the function

f(4) = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The notation for these type of problems is very confusing. Just remember that f(x) is the same thing as y (or some variable). Even if there is a number or something on the inside of the parentheses, it's still just a variable.

In our case

f(a) = 2(a + 4) -9

could be rewritten as

y = 2(a + 4) - 9

the thing on the inside of the parentheses signifies what the equation is dependent on.

so when is says f(4), it just want's you to trade out a for a 4, but the equation is still the same.

f(4) = 2((4) + 4) - 9

Now, just follow the order of operations

f(4) = 2(8) - 9

f(4) = 16 - 9

f(4) = 7

problem:

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this !
