If f(x)= -2x+3 , find f(-1)?

Before we solve the equation let's take a look at it.

f(x) = -2x + 3

See how x appears in both f(x) and as the variable in the second half of the equation?

f(x) means "The function of x." You might also see g(x), h(x), and while those are the most common it can really be any letter, and any variable inside the parentheses.

So when we see f(-1), that means "The function of -1" or "The function of x when it is equal to -1."

Catching on? We need to replace x with -1 to solve for f(-1).

So here we go:

f(x) = -2x + 3

f(-1) = -2(-1) + 3

f(-1) = 2 + 3

f(-1) = 5

Voilà! We have solved for f(-1). Hope this helped.
