If [tex]$F(x) = 8x + 7[tex]$[/tex], then find the value of [tex]$[/tex]F(-2)$[/tex].

Sagot :

Let's determine the value of \( F(x) \) when \( x = -2 \), given the function \( F(x) = 8x + 7 \).

1. Start with the given function:
[tex]\[ F(x) = 8x + 7 \][/tex]

2. Substitute \( x = -2 \) into the function:
[tex]\[ F(-2) = 8(-2) + 7 \][/tex]

3. Calculate the product:
[tex]\[ 8(-2) = -16 \][/tex]

4. Add 7 to the result:
[tex]\[ -16 + 7 = -9 \][/tex]

Hence, the value of \( F(-2) \) is:
[tex]\[ F(-2) = -9 \][/tex]
