Let [tex]f(x) = 7x - 4[/tex]. What is [tex]f(6)[/tex]?

A. 46
B. 48
C. 38
D. 42

Answer :

To find [tex]\( f(6) \)[/tex] for the function [tex]\( f(x) = 7x - 4 \)[/tex], follow these steps:

1. Substitute the value of [tex]\( x \)[/tex] into the function.

When [tex]\( x = 6 \)[/tex], substitute 6 for [tex]\( x \)[/tex] in the expression:

[tex]\[
f(6) = 7 \times 6 - 4
\][/tex]

2. Perform the multiplication.

Calculate [tex]\( 7 \times 6 \)[/tex]:

[tex]\[
7 \times 6 = 42
\][/tex]

3. Subtract the constant.

Subtract 4 from the result of the multiplication:

[tex]\[
42 - 4 = 38
\][/tex]

Thus, the answer is [tex]\( f(6) = 38 \)[/tex].

So, the correct choice is C. 38.
