Question 1111715
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


This is just an arithmetic problem


If *[tex \Large f(x)\ =\ -4x\ -\ 2]


Then *[tex \Large f(a)\  =\ -4a\ -\ 2]


and *[tex \Large f\(\frac{2z^2}{w}\)\ =\ -4\(\frac{2z^2}{w}\)\ -\ 2]


and *[tex \Large f\(\text{the artist formerly known as prince}\)\ =\ -4\(\text{the artist formerly known as prince}\)\ - 2]


Just take the number given, stick it in the definition of *[tex \Large f(x)] where ever *[tex \Large x] occurs and do the arithmetic

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
