How do you evaluate #w(-4)# given #w(t)=t-5#?

Answer 1

Eva Abramson

See the entire solution process below:

To evaluate #w(-4)# we need to substitute #color(red)(-4)# for every occurrence of #color(red)(t)# in the function from the problem:

#w(color(red)(t)) = color(red)(t) - 5# becomes:

#w(color(red)(-4)) = color(red)(-4) - 5#

#w(color(red)(-4)) = -9#

Genesis Allen

To evaluate ( w(-4) ) given ( w(t) = t - 5 ), substitute ( t = -4 ) into the function: [ w(-4) = (-4) - 5 = -4 - 5 = -9 ]

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
