Question 39

The value of f(-2) + f(-3) is 6.

To find the value of f(-2) + f(-3), we calculate each function value and sum them together, leading to a total of 6.

A) -5

This option is incorrect because the sum of f(-2) and f(-3) does not yield a negative result based on the calculations of the function values.

B) 6

This is the correct answer, as it accurately reflects the sum of f(-2) and f(-3) calculated from their respective values, which results in 6.

C) 7

Option C is incorrect because the total of f(-2) + f(-3) does not equal 7, indicating a miscalculation or misunderstanding of the function values.

D) 11

This option is incorrect as well, as the sum of the function values would not reach 11, showing that the calculations have not been accurately performed.

E) 18

This option is also incorrect because it suggests a significantly higher total than what the values of f(-2) and f(-3) would produce when added together.

Conclusion

The correct answer is 6, as it directly results from the accurate addition of f(-2) and f(-3). All other options fail because they do not correspond to the actual values derived from the function, demonstrating a clear understanding of the operations involved.
