81. If f(x) = 2x + 1, then f(-2)= _____.

-3?

78. If f(x) = 3x - 5, then f(2) = _____.

1?

yes, yes

To find the value of f(-2) given that f(x) = 2x + 1, you need to substitute -2 for x in the function.

So, replace x with -2 in the function:

f(-2) = 2(-2) + 1

Now, simplify the expression:

f(-2) = -4 + 1
f(-2) = -3

Therefore, the answer is -3.
