Evaluate Using the Given Value f(-6)=1/2(-6)+3

$f (- 6) = \frac{1}{2} (- 6) + 3$

Step 1

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Factor $2$ out of $- 6$ .

$f (- 6) = \frac{1}{2} \cdot (2 (- 3)) + 3$

Cancel the common factor.

$f (- 6) = \frac{1}{2} \cdot (2 \cdot - 3) + 3$

Rewrite the expression.

$f (- 6) = - 3 + 3$

Step 2

Add $- 3$ and $3$ .

$f (- 6) = 0$
