Answer

Final Answer: f(1)=−6

Steps

Step 1 ：The function is defined for all real numbers. To find the value of the function at x=1, we need to substitute x=1 into the first piece of the function, as it is defined for x<=1.

Step 2 ：Substitute x=1 into the first piece of the function: −5(1)−1=−6

Step 3 ：Final Answer: f(1)=−6
