Question

Find the requested value.
-$f ( - 5 )$ for $f ( x ) = \left\{ \begin{array} { c l } 6 x + 1 & \text { if } x < 5 \ 5 x & \text { if } 5 \leq x \leq 8 \ 5 - 6 x & \text { if } x > 8 \end{array} \right.$
A) 31
B) 35
C) $- 25$
D) $- 29$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since $x = -5$ falls into the first case where $x < 5$, we use the corresponding function $6x + 1$. Substituting $-5$ for $x$ gives $6(-5) + 1 = -30 + 1 = -29$.
