.
The number of  "-9"  is  12  units away from the number of  "3",  so there are exactly  TWO  PERIODS  distance between them.

Therefore, f(-9) = f(3) = -1.      ANSWER



The number of  "20"  is  12  units away from the number of  "8",  so there are exactly  TWO  PERIODS  distance between them.

Therefore, f(20) = f(8) = 5.       ANSWER


All questions answered.   The problem is fully solved and completed.
