The notation [tex]\( f(0) \)[/tex] means the value of the function [tex]\( f(x) \)[/tex] at [tex]\( x = 0 \)[/tex].
To find [tex]\( f(0) \)[/tex] for the function [tex]\( f(x) = 3 - 2x \)[/tex], follow these steps:
1. Substitute [tex]\( x = 0 \)[/tex] into the function [tex]\( f(x) \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ f(0) = 3 - 2(0) \][/tex]
2. Calculate the expression:
The term [tex]\( 2(0) \)[/tex] simplifies to 0, so the equation becomes:
[tex]\[ f(0) = 3 - 0 \][/tex]
3. Simplify the result:
[tex]\[ f(0) = 3 \][/tex]
So, the value of the function [tex]\( f(x) \)[/tex] at [tex]\( x = 0 \)[/tex] is [tex]\( 3 \)[/tex].
Therefore, [tex]\( f(0) = 3 \)[/tex].
