Given that F(x) = 3x + 11.
Find F(-2) – 2F(5)
Solution
CASE 1: We find F(-2)
F(x) = 3x + 11
F(-2) = 3(-2) + 11
F(-2) = -6 + 11
F(-2) = 5
Hence F(-2) = 5
============================================================
CASE 2: We find F(5)
F(x) = 3x + 11
F(5) = 3(5) + 11
F(5) = 15 + 11
F(5) = 26
Hence F(5) = 26
2F(5) = 2(26) = 52
=====================
CASE 3: We find F(-2) – 2F(5)
= F(-2) – 2F(5)
= 5 – 52
= -47
