Evaluate Using the Given Value f(1/2)=-6(1/2)+4

$f (\frac{1}{2}) = - 6 (\frac{1}{2}) + 4$

Step 1

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Factor $2$ out of $- 6$ .

$f (\frac{1}{2}) = 2 (- 3) (\frac{1}{2}) + 4$

Cancel the common factor.

$f (\frac{1}{2}) = 2 \cdot (- 3 (\frac{1}{2})) + 4$

Rewrite the expression.

$f (\frac{1}{2}) = - 3 + 4$

Step 2

Add $- 3$ and $4$ .

$f (\frac{1}{2}) = 1$
