Let [tex]f(x) = 7x - 1[/tex].

What is [tex]f(6)[/tex]?

A. 48
B. 42
C. 38
D. 46

Answer :

To find [tex]\( f(6) \)[/tex] using the function [tex]\( f(x) = 7x - 1 \)[/tex], follow these steps:

1. Identify the function given: [tex]\( f(x) = 7x - 1 \)[/tex].

2. Substitute 6 for [tex]\( x \)[/tex] in the function:
[tex]\( f(6) = 7(6) - 1 \)[/tex].

3. Perform the multiplication:
[tex]\( 7 \times 6 = 42 \)[/tex].

4. Subtract 1 from the result:
[tex]\( 42 - 1 = 41 \)[/tex].

Therefore, the answer is 41. None of the answer choices given (A. 48, B. 42, C. 38, D. 46) are correct. If 41 were on the list, that would be the correct selection.
