Answer:

The maximum value f(4) can have is 70

f(4) = 70

Explanation:

For the largest possible value, the derivative must be greatest,

so, for our case, since f'(x) ≤ 9,

but for largest value, f'(x) must be greatest, hence it must be,

f'(x) = 9.

With this derivative,

Using the value,

f(-3) = 7,

with each step, we increase by 9 units

so, f(-2) = f(-3) + 9 = 7 + 9 = 16

f(-2) = 16

going till f(4),

f(-1) = 16+9

f(-1) = 25

f(0) = 25 + 9 = 34

f(1) = 34 + 9 = 43

f(2) = 43 = 9 = 52

f(3) = 52 + 9 = 61

f(4) = 70

So,

the maximum value f(4) can have is 70
