1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to evaluate the function f(x)=8x6f(x) = 8x - 6 for different values and expressions: f(0)f(0), f(2)f(2), f(2)f(-2), f(x+1)f(x+1), and f(x)f(-x).

2. Solution Steps

A) Evaluate f(0)f(0):
Substitute x=0x = 0 into the function:
f(0)=8(0)6=06=6f(0) = 8(0) - 6 = 0 - 6 = -6
B) Evaluate f(2)f(2):
Substitute x=2x = 2 into the function:
f(2)=8(2)6=166=10f(2) = 8(2) - 6 = 16 - 6 = 10
C) Evaluate f(2)f(-2):
Substitute x=2x = -2 into the function:
f(2)=8(2)6=166=22f(-2) = 8(-2) - 6 = -16 - 6 = -22
D) Evaluate f(x+1)f(x+1):
Substitute x+1x+1 for xx in the function:
f(x+1)=8(x+1)6=8x+86=8x+2f(x+1) = 8(x+1) - 6 = 8x + 8 - 6 = 8x + 2
E) Evaluate f(x)f(-x):
Substitute x-x for xx in the function:
f(x)=8(x)6=8x6f(-x) = 8(-x) - 6 = -8x - 6

3. Final Answer

A) f(0)=6f(0) = -6
B) f(2)=10f(2) = 10
C) f(2)=22f(-2) = -22
D) f(x+1)=8x+2f(x+1) = 8x + 2
E) f(x)=8x6f(-x) = -8x - 6
