Question:
If \( x = -1 \), then what is the value of the function?
\[
f(x) = x^3 + 4x + 12
\]
If \( x = -1 \), then what is the value of the function?
\[
f(x) = x^3 + 4x + 12
\]
Show Hint
For function evaluation problems, simply substitute the given value of \( x \) into the function and simplify.

The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Substitute \( x = -1 \) into the function \( f(x) = x^3 + 4x + 12 \):
\[
f(-1) = (-1)^3 + 4(-1) + 12
\]
Step 2: Simplify each term:
\[
f(-1) = -1 - 4 + 12
\]
Step 3: Add the terms:
\[
f(-1) = 7
\]
Thus, the value of the function when \( x = -1 \) is 7.

Top Questions on Functions
- g(periodcentered) is a function from A to B, f(periodcentered) is a function from B to C, and their composition defined as f(g(periodcentered)) is a mapping from A to C. If f(periodcentered) and f(g(periodcentered)) are onto (surjective) functions, which ONE of the following is TRUE about the function g(periodcentered)?
If the domain of the function \( f(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3x + 10 - x^2}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{x + |x|}} \) is \( (a, b) \), then \( (1 + a)^2 + b^2 \) is equal to:
- The domain of the function \[ f(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{10 + 3x - x^2}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{x + |x|}} \] is \( (a, b) \). Then \( (1 + a^2) + b^2 \) is:
- Let \( A = \{1, 2, 3, 4\} \) and \( B = \{1, 4, 9, 16\} \). Then the number of many-one functions \( f: A \to B \) such that \( 1 \in f(A) \) is equal to:
Let \( f(x) = \log x \) and \[ g(x) = \frac{x^4 - 2x^3 + 3x^2 - 2x + 2}{2x^2 - 2x + 1} \] Then the domain of \( f \circ g \) is:
