Answer :
1. How to find f(4)?
- I explained how to find f(5) in your previous question. It is exactly the same. We substitute x = 4 in the equation.
2. Substitution and Evaluate
[tex] \large{f(4) = - {(4)}^{2} - 6(4) + 12} [/tex]
Follow BODMAS/PEMDAS rules as well! Exponent first.
[tex] \large{ f(4) = - 16 - 24 + 12} \\ \large{f(4) = - 40 + 12} \\ \large{f(4) = -2 8}[/tex]
3. Final Answer
- f(4) = -28.
