Question

given the function ( f(x) = -2x - 8 ), find the following values.
a. ( f(0) )
b. ( f(x) )
c. ( f(-x) )
d. ( f(x + h) )

a. ( f(0) = -8 ) (simplify your answer.)
b. ( f(x) = -2x - 8 ) (simplify your answer. do not factor.)
c. ( f(-x) = 2x - 8 ) (simplify your answer. do not factor.)
d. ( f(x + h) = square ) (simplify your answer. do not factor.)

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute $x+h$ into $f(x)$

$f(x+h) = -2(x+h) - 8$

Step2: Distribute the -2 term

$f(x+h) = -2x - 2h - 8$

Answer:

$-2x - 2h - 8$
