<PRE><B>Question 730060</B>
Evaluate the function at the given value of the independent variable and simplify. 
f(x)=-3x-8;f(-2) 
a)14
b)-11
c)-2
D)22
Sub -2 for x
f(-2) = -3*-2 - 8 = 6 - 8
= -2
-------------
Evaluate the function at the given value of the independent variable and simplify. 
f(x) = x2 - 1; f(x - 2) 
A) x2 + 4
B) x2 - 4x + 3
C) x2 - 3
D) x2 - 4x + 4 
Sub (x-2) for x
-----------------
Evaluate the function at the given value of the independent variable and simplify. 
f(x) = 4x2 + 5x - 6; f(x - 1) 
A) -3x2 + 4x - 7
B) 4x2 - 3x - 7
C) 4x2 - 3x + 3
D) 4x2 - 19x + 3
Same as above
--------------------
Evaluate the function at the given value of the independent variable and simplify. 

f(x) = ; f(5) 

x^2-6
_______
x^3-7x 

More of the same
---------------------
Evaluate the function at the given value of the independent variable and simplify. 
f(x)=x^-1;f(x-2) 
a)x^2+4
b)x^2-4x+3
C)x2 - 3
D)x2 - 4x + 4
Same.
