To evaluate the function f(x) = 3 - 2x for the given inputs, substitute the value of x into the function and solve for the output.
Let's evaluate the function for each input:
1. f(3): Substitute x = 3 into the function, f(x) = 3 - 2x:
f(3) = 3 - 2(3) = 3 - 6 = -3
2. f(0): Substitute x = 0 into the function, f(x) = 3 - 2x:
f(0) = 3 - 2(0) = 3 - 0 = 3
3. f(5): Substitute x = 5 into the function, f(x) = 3 - 2x:
f(5) = 3 - 2(5) = 3 - 10 = -7
4. f(2): Substitute x = 2 into the function, f(x) = 3 - 2x:
f(2) = 3 - 2(2) = 3 - 4 = -1
Now, to determine which input generates the largest output, we compare the values we obtained:
- f(3) = -3
- f(0) = 3
- f(5) = -7
- f(2) = -1
From the provided inputs, f(0) produces the largest output of 3.
